Sunnyslope is a 4-tract neighborhood of Salem, OR and houses 26,654 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.4/10, Elevated tier. The severe-burden share is 40%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Salem rate of 32.5%. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.4 to 7, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. Court records carry 2,052 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 14.1% of renter households. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7/10.
The most recent observed rate, 2.8% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Salem, it ranks #5 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, West Salem and South Salem score within a fraction of it.
Average gross rent runs $1,466, close to the Salem average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $84,151. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
