Lincoln Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.5 to 6.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. 38% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Spokane rate of 31.6%. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Average gross rent is $1,439, 18% above the Spokane average of $1,215. Court records for this tract carry 10 eviction filings.

Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 1.6% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 1.8% in 2016 against a 1.6% peak.

Among the 21 mapped neighborhoods of Spokane, it ranks #15 by risk, the lower third. Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

For a like-for-like read, The Y and Southgate score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
