Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hillyard

Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 1.6 points above the Spokane County average of 5.7.

Average gross rent is $1,456, 20% above the Spokane average. The clearest offset is court filing pressure at 3/10. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 7.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $57,160.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
