Skyline Valley Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 9,396 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.7/10 · range 5.8–7.1

Skyline Valley spans 2 census tracts of Corvallis, OR and houses 9,396 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.7/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Corvallis baseline of 40.2%, 56% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

34% 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. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10.

Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.9/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.8 to 7.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

Court records for this tract carry 109 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 1.1% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 0.9% in 2018 against a 1.1% peak.

At $1,488 a month, rents sit 7% over what the rest of Corvallis commands. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
