· range 5.6–5.6
Northwest maps to a single census tract in Gresham, OR, population 5,543. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs about half against 34.4% citywide, putting Northwest 15.0% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.
The filing record is not thin: 828 evictions logged in this tract. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 17.3% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 6.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #8 of 9 neighborhoods in Gresham. The closest comparables inside the same city are Holly Brook and Southwest.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,528, close to the Gresham average.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $85,388.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
