Lake Forest maps to a single census tract in Lake Oswego, OR, population 4,529. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
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. Court records for this tract carry 117 eviction filings.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.1/10. Against a Lake Oswego baseline of 28.9%, roughly one in three of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Average gross rent is $1,847, 14% below the Lake Oswego average of $2,139. Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 4.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.6% in 2013, is well off that peak.
That places it #6 of 11 neighborhoods in Lake Oswego. For a like-for-like read, Hallinan and First Addition score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
