Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sprague Union District
Cost burden runs around two-thirds here against 45.2% across Spokane County. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.8/10.
Against the Spokane County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. At $977 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Spokane commands.
Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 3/10. The filing record is not thin: 55 evictions over 3 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2014 at 5.9% 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 4.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #11,153 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.9/10. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
