Burlingame is a 2-tract neighborhood of Portland, OR, population 5,562. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.3/10, Elevated tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. 30% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
12% 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. Court records carry 152 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 4.4% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,842, 11% above the Portland average of $1,655.
The most recent observed rate, 1.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 52 mapped neighborhoods of Portland, it ranks #47 by risk, the lower third. At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Bonny Slope and Marquam Hill. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
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.
