Uplands maps to a single census tract in Lake Oswego, OR, population 2,537. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.9/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 68% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Lake Oswego rate of 28.9%.
The voucher gap is 33.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.1/10. Running hot is supply constraint at 8.3/10.
At $2,658 a month, rents sit 24% over what the rest of Lake Oswego commands. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.1/10. That places it #4 of 11 neighborhoods in Lake Oswego.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $147,750.
29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
