Mount Pleasant is a 5-tract neighborhood of Oregon City, OR, population 26,153. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs about half against 31.6% citywide, putting Mount Pleasant 19.7% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.6/10. The 5 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.7 to 6.5, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Filings are well documented here: 644 across 3 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 9.3% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 3.3% in 2013, is well off that peak. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,743, close to the Oregon City average.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $96,898. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
