Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sprague Union District
Cost burden runs 56% here against 45.2% across Spokane County. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.7/10. At $962 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Spokane commands.
Against the Spokane County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 3/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 125 filings here across 3 tracked years.
Filings peaked in 2015 at 3.5% of renter households. 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.
In a typical year about 3.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 83% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
