Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Emerald Hills

23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 44 evictions over 5 years of observation.

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 2.9/10. Filings peaked in 2008 at 1.5% of renter households.

In a typical year about 1.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 67th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 46% of renters.

It tracks the Snohomish County average of 5.4 closely. Average gross rent is $1,819, close to the Edmonds average.
