Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hillyard

The poverty rate is 36%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

It sits 1.6 points above the Spokane County average of 5.7. 53% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Spokane County average of 45.2%. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 3/10. Average gross rent is $1,088, 10% below the Spokane average.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.4/10. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $41,071. 57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
