Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Southgate
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.1/10. The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 1.0 points below the Spokane County average of 5.7.
Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 3/10. Court records carry 32 eviction filings across 3 observed years. Average gross rent is $1,334, 10% above the Spokane average.
The worst year on record was 2014, when 2.2% 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 1.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 55th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $93,536, annual rent is just 17%.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
