Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

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 Sprague Union District

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.6/10. Average gross rent is $1,569, 29% above the Spokane average. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 3/10.

Court records carry 20 eviction filings across 3 observed years. The worst year on record was 2016, when 2.5% of renter households were served.

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 3.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 67th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 13% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Spokane County average of 5.7 closely.

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.
