Middle Grove is a one-tract suburb of Hayesville, OR, population 7,973. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, Moderate tier. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.3/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running hot is housing-court posture at 8.2/10.
30% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, lower than the Hayesville rate of 35.4%. Average gross rent is $1,677, 17% above the Hayesville average of $1,435. The filing record is not thin: 356 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 5.3% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 3.5% in 2016 against a 5.3% peak.
At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $84,924.
One tract means one number: 5.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
