· range 6.5–6.5
Roseballen maps to a single census tract in Vashon, WA and houses 5,737 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.5/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Vashon baseline of 31.4%, 47% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1/10. 21% 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.
At $1,334 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Vashon commands. The filing record is not thin: 43 evictions logged in this tract.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 1.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.6% in 2013, is well off that peak.
At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
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.
