Irwin Eviction Risk: Elevated , Spokane Valley

This is renter territory: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. It sits 1.8 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 poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 3/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 153 filings here across 3 tracked years. At $1,197 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Spokane Valley commands.

The worst year on record was 2015, when 3.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.5% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #10,320 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.8/10.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
