Fairmont Eviction Risk: Elevated

5 census tracts · pop 24,149 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.2/10 · range 6.2–7.8

Fairmont is a 5-tract neighborhood of Everett, WA and houses 24,149 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.2/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 53% against 32.1% citywide, putting Fairmont 21.0% over its own city.

Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.4/10.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6.2 to 7.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10.

Filings are well documented here: 717 across 3 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.9/10.

Filing activity peaked in 2017 at 6.0% of renter households. That places it #3 of 7 neighborhoods in Everett. Judgments average 2.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Lowell and Grandview Homes. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,666, close to the Everett average.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $74,481.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
