Qaxas Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate

4 census tracts · pop 13,213 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.7/10 · range 5–6.7

Qaxas Heights spans 4 census tracts of North Bend, OR and houses 13,213 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs roughly one in two against 30.1% citywide, putting Qaxas Heights 18.0% over its own city.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5 to 6.7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Court records carry 500 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10.

The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 5.6% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 4.0% in 2016 against a 5.6% peak. At $992 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of North Bend commands.

Against average income of $70,465, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.7 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
