Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Comstock

53% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Spokane County average of 45.2%. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 2.9/10.

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 3/10. The filing record is not thin: 18 evictions over 3 years of observation.

Average gross rent is $1,382, 14% above the Spokane average. The worst year on record was 2014, when 0.9% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 0.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 79th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

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.
