Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 6.3 to 8.1. A 1.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
At $1,927 a month, rents sit 16% over what the rest of Portland commands. Court records carry 2,404 eviction filings across its 5 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 15.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 52 mapped neighborhoods of Portland, it ranks #25 by risk, the middle third.
For a like-for-like read, Corbett and Ladd's Addition score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $99,058.
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. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
