Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Southgate
Pulling hardest the other way is court filing pressure at 3/10. At $1,422 a month, rents run 17% over what the rest of Spokane commands.
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 77% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.7/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
Rent takes 30% or more of income for 49% of renters. It tracks the Spokane County average of 5.7 closely.
Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $91,750. 48% 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.
