Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Belmont

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Against the Multnomah County average of 7.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points.

At $1,400 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Portland commands. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 31 filings here across 13 tracked years.

Adults with no health insurance runs 3.9% against 11.3% nationally. Filings peaked in 2010 at 1.8% of renter households.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Portland. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 0.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #16,571 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
