Roosevelt maps to a single census tract in Bellingham, WA, population 7,346. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.3/10, High tier. Against a Bellingham baseline of 37.2%, 54% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.7/10.
The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.1/10.
The filing record is not thin: 86 evictions logged in this tract. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 2.3% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.2% in 2018, is well off that peak. Among the 13 mapped neighborhoods of Bellingham, it ranks #5 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Birchwood and Lettered Streets.
Average gross rent runs $1,607, close to the Bellingham average. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $65,280.
One tract means one number: 8.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
