North Gresham maps to a single census tract in Gresham, OR and houses 3,697 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.5/10, in the Elevated tier. The severe-burden share is 51%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Cost burden runs 63% against 34.4% citywide, putting North Gresham 28.1% over its own city. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.6/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.
At $1,319 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Gresham commands. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Court records for this tract carry 588 eviction filings.
Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 12.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 6.3% in 2016, is well off that peak.
That places it #2 of 9 neighborhoods in Gresham. For a like-for-like read, Wilkes East and Rockwood score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, 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 $69,754.
40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
