Intercity is a 3-tract neighborhood of Everett, WA, population 15,893. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.7/10, in the Elevated tier. 58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Everett rate of 32.1%.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10. 26% 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. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.6/10.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.6/10. Filings are well documented here: 512 across 2 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 4.6% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 3.3% in 2017 against a 4.6% peak.
That places it #1 of 7 neighborhoods in Everett. For a like-for-like read, Lowell and Fairmont score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 3 tracts score within 0.5 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Average gross rent runs $1,766, close to the Everett average.
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.
