1 census tracts · pop 6,324 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.3/10 · range 6.3–6.3

Englewood is a one-tract neighborhood of Portland, OR, population 6,324. 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.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. Cost burden runs 41% against 31.4% citywide, putting Englewood 9.2% over its own city.

The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 72 eviction filings.

Average gross rent is $1,876, 13% above the Portland average of $1,655. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 5.0% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 3.6% in 2016 against a 5.0% peak. Among the 52 mapped neighborhoods of Portland, it ranks #47 by risk, the lower third. Only 10% 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.

One tract means one number: 6.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
