Southgate Eviction Risk: Moderate , Spokane

28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.3/10. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 3/10.

Court records carry 27 eviction filings across 3 observed years. Average gross rent is $1,382, 14% above the Spokane average.

The worst year on record was 2015, when 1.7% 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 1.2% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #22,681 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.5/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
