Glenfair maps to a single census tract in Portland, OR, population 5,287. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.1/10, in the High tier. 71% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Portland rate of 31.4%.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,331, 20% below the Portland average of $1,655.
The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 2,756 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 17.0% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 11.4% in 2016 against a 17.0% peak.
That places it #1 of 52 neighborhoods in Portland. The closest comparables inside the same city are Riverview and Portsmouth.
One tract means one number: 9.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
