Youngstown is a one-tract neighborhood of Seattle, WA and houses 5,745 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, in the High tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Seattle rate of 27.4%.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10.
14% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Court records for this tract carry 174 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 2.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.6% in 2013, is well off that peak. Among the 65 mapped neighborhoods of Seattle, it ranks #23 by risk, the middle third.
Average gross rent runs $2,085, close to the Seattle average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $109,050.
46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
