· range 6.1–6.3
Darlington spans 2 census tracts of Everett, WA, population 7,532. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.2/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Everett baseline of 32.1%, 48% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Average gross rent is $2,061, 18% above the Everett average of $1,740.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.6/10. Filings are well documented here: 158 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 4.8% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 3.3% in 2017 against a 4.8% peak. That places it #8 of 7 neighborhoods in Everett.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $113,963. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
