Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Pleasant Valley

81% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Multnomah County average of 49.7%. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

Against the Multnomah County average of 7.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,288, 22% below the Portland average.

The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records carry 1,129 eviction filings across 16 observed years. The worst year on record was 2012, when 12.8% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 10.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
