The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.9 to 7.3, a 2.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10. 20% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.1/10. Filings are well documented here: 47 across 2 observed tracts.
Average gross rent is $1,521, 12% above the Spokane Valley average of $1,353. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 2.6% of renter households. That places it #7 of 6 neighborhoods in Spokane Valley.
Judgments average 0.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Greenacres and Orchard Park.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $76,290. 33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.4 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.
