Hillwood is a one-tract neighborhood of Shoreline, WA and houses 5,695 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.8/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 44%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 68% against 32.2% citywide, putting Hillwood 36.2% over its own city. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2/10.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.4/10. Court records for this tract carry 31 eviction filings. Average gross rent is $2,291, 15% above the Shoreline average of $1,985.
The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 1.0% of renter households. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. The most recent observed rate, 0.5% in 2013, is well off that peak.
Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of Shoreline, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third. Only 27% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $97,212.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.8/10 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.
