Argay Terrace maps to a single census tract in Portland, OR, population 3,471. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.1/10, in the High tier. Against a Portland baseline of 31.4%, roughly two in three of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
31% 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. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10.
Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 2,019 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2000, when filings touched 23.6% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 22.1% in 2016 against a 23.6% peak. Among the 52 mapped neighborhoods of Portland, it ranks #15 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Gilbert and Centennial. Average gross rent runs $1,704, close to the Portland average. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $65,855.
39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 8.1/10 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.
