Analysis

What drives eviction risk in South Perry District

The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1.4/10. At $928 a month, rents run 24% under what the rest of Spokane commands. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.5/10.

Court records carry 19 eviction filings across 3 observed years. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 3/10. Filings peaked in 2016 at 0.7% of renter households.

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 0.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #16,571 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 8.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. about half of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

It tracks the Spokane County average of 5.7 closely.

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.
