1 census tracts · pop 3,580 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.3/10 · range 6.3–6.3

Caufield maps to a single census tract in Oregon City, OR, population 3,580. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.3/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 54% against 31.6% citywide, putting Caufield 22.4% over its own city.

The severe-burden share is 34%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 3/10. The filing record is not thin: 88 evictions logged in this tract.

The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 6.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.6% in 2012, is well off that peak. Average gross rent runs $1,637, close to the Oregon City average.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $95,398. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 6.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
