Arleta takes in 7 census tracts of Portland, OR, population 33,985. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.9/10, in the Elevated tier. 49% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Portland rate of 31.4%.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. 26% 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 7 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.9 to 9.1, a 2.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10.
Court records carry 4,690 eviction filings across its 7 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 12.2% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.9% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 52 mapped neighborhoods of Portland, it ranks #20 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Reed and Chinatown.
Average gross rent runs $1,640, close to the Portland average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $86,934.
36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
