Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Orchard Park
Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.5/10.
At $1,083 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Spokane Valley commands. Against Spokane County at 45.2%, 39% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Court records carry 20 eviction filings across 3 observed years. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 3/10. It sits 0.7 points above the Spokane County average of 5.7.
Filings peaked in 2014 at 3.3% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Spokane. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 2.7% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 81% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.3/10. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $65,536.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
