Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sprague Union District
The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 5.9/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Spokane eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Spokane County average of 5.1 and below the Washington statewide average of 5.2. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
HOLC surveyors mapped this tract in the 1930s with a dominant grade of C ("Declining"), above the redlined D tier. The grading still shaped decades of lending and development in the surrounding area.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 20 eviction filings here over 3 tracked years, with about 3.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 2.5% of renter households in 2016.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
