The Y Eviction Risk: Elevated , Spokane

The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.6 points above the Spokane County average of 5.7.

17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The dominant input is economic stress at 7.4/10.

Cost burden runs 52% here against 45.2% across Spokane County. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 3/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 8.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,267, close to the Spokane average. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $48,750.

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.
