University District Eviction Risk: Elevated , Spokane

The poverty rate is 57%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

60% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Spokane County average of 45.2%. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $39,830, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Against the Spokane County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points. Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running cool, court filing pressure reads 3/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.

Nationally it ranks #11,153 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.1/10.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,183, close to the Spokane average.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
