Birdshill Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 3,426 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.5/10 · range 7.5–7.5

Birdshill maps to a single census tract in Milwaukie, OR and houses 3,426 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.5/10, Elevated tier. 65% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Milwaukie rate of 34.6%.

Severe burden reaches 35%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.1/10.

At $1,875 a month, rents sit 17% over what the rest of Milwaukie commands. Court records for this tract carry 344 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 7.5% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 2.1% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 5 neighborhoods in Milwaukie. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

61% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
