Errol Heights Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 11,332 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.1/10 · range 6.2–7.8

Errol Heights spans 2 census tracts of Milwaukie, OR, population 11,332. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.1/10, Elevated tier. The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.3/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10.

Cost burden runs 43% against 34.6% citywide, putting Errol Heights 8.8% over its own city. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.4/10.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6.2 to 7.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Court records carry 583 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 8.4% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 3.0% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #5 of 5 neighborhoods in Milwaukie. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent runs $1,623, close to the Milwaukie average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $95,160.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
