Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Northwest
At $1,516 a month, rents run 25% over what the rest of Spokane commands. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against Spokane County at 45.2%, roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened.
Running cool, court filing pressure reads 3/10. The filing record is not thin: 22 evictions over 3 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2016, when 1.8% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 1.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.1/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Spokane County average of 5.7 closely.
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.
