Highland takes in 2 census tracts of Keizer, OR and houses 10,183 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.9/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Keizer baseline of 30.3%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6 to 7.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2.9/10.
The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records carry 2,769 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10. At $1,218 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Keizer commands.
The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 9.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.1% in 2016, is well off that peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $63,010. 52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
