Five Mile Prairie maps to a single census tract in Spokane, WA, population 3,939. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 59% against 31.6% citywide, putting Five Mile Prairie 26.9% over its own city.
Average gross rent is $2,542, 109% above the Spokane average of $1,215. The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 76.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
25% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.5/10. That places it #19 of 21 neighborhoods in Spokane.
At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 4.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
