Forest Highlands maps to a single census tract in Lake Oswego, OR and houses 2,381 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.8/10, in the Moderate tier. 54% 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.
61% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Lake Oswego rate of 28.9%. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.5/10.
At $1,783 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Lake Oswego commands. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.1/10. Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Lake Oswego, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
For a like-for-like read, North Shore Country Club and Rosewood score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $101,528.
50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
