Glenwood Eviction Risk: Elevated

3 census tracts · pop 11,144 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7/10 · range 6.1–7.7

Glenwood is a 3-tract suburb of Springfield, OR and houses 11,144 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7/10, Elevated tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10.

Against a Springfield baseline of 30.1%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6.1 to 7.7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Filings are well documented here: 2,005 across 3 observed tracts. At $1,066 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Springfield commands.

The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 13.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.5% in 2016, is well off that peak.

Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Springfield, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, River Glen and Thurston score within a fraction of it.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
