Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 2.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.5% in 2017, is well off that peak. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Edmonds, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $73,665. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 6.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
