Grant Park is a one-tract suburb of Portland, OR, population 2,961. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.4/10, in the Elevated tier. 49% 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.
Cost burden runs 58% against 31.4% citywide, putting Grant Park 26.6% over its own city. At $2,281 a month, rents sit 38% over what the rest of Portland commands.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 44 evictions logged in this tract. The voucher gap is 14.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 8.2% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 5.8% in 2016 against a 8.2% peak. That places it #46 of 52 neighborhoods in Portland.
Only 9% 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. For a like-for-like read, Alberta and Bonny Slope score within a fraction of it.
One tract means one number: 6.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
