Paramount Park Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 4,245 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.2/10 · range 6.2–6.2

Paramount Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Shoreline, WA and houses 4,245 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.2/10, in the Elevated tier. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10.

The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2/10.

At $1,593 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Shoreline commands. 33% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.

The filing record is not thin: 66 evictions logged in this tract. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.4/10. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 2.6% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 0.7% in 2013, is well off that peak. Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of Shoreline, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Parkwood and Meridian Park score within a fraction of it.

Against average income of $119,219, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
