· range 6.1–7.4
Dishman takes in 3 census tracts of Spokane Valley, WA and houses 10,984 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Spokane Valley baseline of 31.1%, 54% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10. The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 6.1 to 7.4. A 1.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Filings are well documented here: 134 across 3 observed tracts. The poverty rate is 16%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Average gross rent is $1,163, 14% below the Spokane Valley average of $1,353. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 3.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.1% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Spokane Valley, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Irwin and Opportunity score within a fraction of it.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $59,028. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
