Spring Creek is a one-tract suburb of Santa Clara, OR and houses 4,464 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Court records for this tract carry 139 eviction filings.
23% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, under the Santa Clara rate of 27.0%. The voucher gap is 11.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 5.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.2% in 2016, is well off that peak. Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Against average income of $101,094, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $1,670, close to the Santa Clara average.
One tract means one number: 3.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
