Latah Valley Eviction Risk: Moderate , Spokane

At $1,720 a month, rents run 42% over what the rest of Spokane commands. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10.

Against the Spokane County average of 5.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. The voucher gap is 19.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 3/10.

The filing record is not thin: 9 evictions over 3 years of observation. 8% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.1% against 11.3% nationally.

On the high side, supply constraint reads 6.9/10. The worst year on record was 2015, when 1.9% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 1.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 51st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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.
