2 census tracts · pop 10,569 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.9/10
· range 6.7–7.2
Southgate spans 2 census tracts of Milwaukie, OR, population 10,569. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.9/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 60% against 34.6% citywide, putting Southgate 25.7% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.5/10.
Court records carry 1,141 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 14.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.2% in 2013, is well off that peak.
At $1,498 a month, rents sit 6% under what the rest of Milwaukie commands. That places it #6 of 5 neighborhoods in Milwaukie. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.5 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $62,202.
With little internal variation, 6.9/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
