Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Whitwood Court
What pushes it up most is local political climate at 9/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.
The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against the Multnomah County average of 7.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points.
Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Average gross rent is $1,426, 14% below the Portland average.
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. Nationally it ranks #3,797 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.8/10. Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 3.0 points hotter.
