Westlake maps to a single census tract in Lake Oswego, OR, population 5,574. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.7/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Lake Oswego baseline of 28.9%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 65 evictions logged in this tract.
Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.1/10. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 2.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.9% in 2013, is well off that peak.
At $1,976 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Lake Oswego commands. That places it #9 of 11 neighborhoods in Lake Oswego.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Westridge and Palisades. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
