South Perry District Eviction Risk: Elevated

3 census tracts · pop 13,204 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.2/10 · range 4.7–7.2

South Perry District spans 3 census tracts of Spokane, WA and houses 13,204 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.2/10, in the Elevated tier. roughly two in three of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Spokane rate of 31.6%.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.7 to 7.2, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 2.6/10.

Filings are well documented here: 87 across 3 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 2.3% of renter households.

Average gross rent is $1,097, 10% below the Spokane average of $1,215. Among the 21 mapped neighborhoods of Spokane, it ranks #11 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 0.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Against average income of $73,225, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. 44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.2 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.
