Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Spokane Valley
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10. Against the Spokane County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points. The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
38% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Spokane County average of 45.2%. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.6/10. Average gross rent is $1,093, 19% below the Spokane Valley average.
The filing record is not thin: 93 evictions over 3 years of observation. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 3/10.
Filings peaked in 2015 at 4.1% 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 3.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 88% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.5/10.
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.
