Birmingham Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 6,390 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4/10 · range 3–5.4

Birmingham takes in 2 census tracts of Oregon, OH and houses 6,390 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3 to 5.4. A 2.4-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

19% 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. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 2.4/10.

Court records carry 882 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10.

At $783 a month, rents sit 13% under what the rest of Oregon commands. Against a Oregon baseline of 26.2%, 30% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 11.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 7.1% in 2018, is well off that peak. Against average income of $62,975, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.

31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
