Sunnyside is a 4-tract suburb of Happy Valley, OR and houses 22,292 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.7/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 46% against 35.4% citywide, putting Sunnyside 10.9% over its own city. Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 4.6 to 7.3. A 2.7-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.4/10. Filings are well documented here: 537 across 4 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 12.3% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 4.1% in 2013, is well off that peak. Average gross rent runs $1,973, close to the Happy Valley average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $117,155.
35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.7 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.
