South Beach is a one-tract suburb of Newport, OR, population 1,778. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.6/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Newport baseline of 28.2%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 65% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.2/10. Court records for this tract carry 161 eviction filings. At $1,052 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Newport commands.
The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 4.9% of renter households. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. The most recent observed rate, 1.7% in 2016, is well off that peak.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Newport Heights and Holiday Beach. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $44,970.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
