Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Garland District

The clearest offset is supply constraint at 2.9/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 3/10.

Court records carry 87 eviction filings across 3 observed years. On the softer side, economic stress reads 3.1/10. Filings peaked in 2014 at 3.5% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 2.9% 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. It tracks the Spokane County average of 5.7 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,146, close to the Spokane average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $65,661.

55% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
