Green Hills takes in 2 census tracts of Portland, OR and houses 5,178 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.8/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Portland baseline of 31.4%, 47% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10.
21% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6.3 to 7.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Average gross rent is $1,931, 17% above the Portland average of $1,655. Filings are well documented here: 211 across 2 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 9.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.9% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #40 of 52 neighborhoods in Portland.
Only 26% 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. Against average income of $161,524, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
