Parkwood maps to a single census tract in Shoreline, WA, population 5,813. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.5/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 48% against 32.2% citywide, putting Parkwood 16.0% over its own city.
The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Court records for this tract carry 87 eviction filings. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.4/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 2.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.9% in 2013, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $1,831, 8% below the Shoreline average of $1,985.
Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of Shoreline, it ranks #5 by risk, the middle third. At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Highland Terrace and Hillwood score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $115,000, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
