Grant takes in 4 census tracts of Salem, OR and houses 19,194 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.5/10, Elevated tier. Against a Salem baseline of 32.5%, 48% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 2/10. 18% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. At $1,084 a month, rents sit 23% under what the rest of Salem commands.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records carry 3,652 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 10.6% of renter households. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Salem, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third.
Judgments average 2.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Its 4 tracts score within 0.9 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $58,364.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
