What drives eviction risk in Chinatown
The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.
74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. It sits 1.7 points above the Multnomah County average of 7.4. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 6.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 3.0 points hotter.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for roughly one in two of renters.
Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $53,063.
