University District Eviction Risk: Elevated , Spokane

72% 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. Against the Spokane County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points.

Cost burden runs 53% here against 45.2% across Spokane County. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

The main counterweight is court filing pressure at 3/10. The filing record is not thin: 79 evictions over 3 years of observation.

Average gross rent is $1,326, 9% above the Spokane average. The worst year on record was 2015, when 3.1% 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 2.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
