Bonny Slope Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 8,357 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.3/10 · range 6.3–6.3

Bonny Slope is a 2-tract neighborhood of Portland, OR, population 8,357. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.3/10, in the Elevated tier. At $2,358 a month, rents sit 42% over what the rest of Portland commands.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure 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. 38% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Portland rate of 31.4%.

The voucher gap is 18.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Among the 52 mapped neighborhoods of Portland, it ranks #47 by risk, the lower third. Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Marquam Hill and Burlingame. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

With little internal variation, 6.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
