Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 South Perry District

Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Spokane County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The main counterweight is court filing pressure at 3/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 56 filings here across 3 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2015, when 2.3% 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 2.1% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 86% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.

Average gross rent is $1,198, close to the Spokane average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $73,097.

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.
