Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Emerald Hills

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 12 filings here across 5 tracked years.

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 2.9/10. Against the Snohomish County average of 5.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. The worst year on record was 2016, when 1.9% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 0.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 2.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $153,110, annual rent is just 14%.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $1,841, close to the Edmonds average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
