Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Latah Valley

What moves this score most is supply constraint at 6.9/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

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.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 9 eviction filings here over 3 tracked years, with about 1.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 1.9% of renter households in 2015.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 7th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
