Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Latah Valley
The clearest offset is economic stress at 2.4/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 3/10. The filing record is not thin: 15 evictions over 3 years of observation.
Against Spokane County at 45.2%, 41% of renters here are cost-burdened. Average gross rent is $1,354, 11% above the Spokane average.
Filings peaked in 2015 at 4.3% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.
In a typical year about 2.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 16% 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.
Social vulnerability reads 5.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. It tracks the Spokane County average of 5.7 closely. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $65,259.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
