Perrinville Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 8,376 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.8/10 · range 4.9–6.8

Perrinville is a 2-tract neighborhood of Edmonds, WA and houses 8,376 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.8/10, in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.7/10.

Average gross rent is $2,441, 28% above the Edmonds average of $1,903. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 4.9 to 6.8. A 1.9-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10. Court records carry 25 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.

Against a Edmonds baseline of 28.8%, 33% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 9% 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. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.2/10.

Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 2.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.7% in 2017, is well off that peak.

That places it #3 of 4 neighborhoods in Edmonds. At 18% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

For a like-for-like read, Emerald Hills and Echo Lake score within a fraction of it.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.9 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
