Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hillyard
59% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Spokane County average of 45.2%. It sits 1.4 points above the Spokane County average of 5.7. At $1,448 a month, rents run 19% over what the rest of Spokane commands.
The main counterweight is court filing pressure at 3/10. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 67 filings here across 3 tracked years.
Filings peaked in 2014 at 3.7% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Spokane. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
In a typical year about 3.3% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 85th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Social vulnerability reads 7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
