· range 7.1–9.1
Ladd's Addition takes in 4 census tracts of Portland, OR, population 12,339. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.7/10, in the Elevated tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.
This is a renter market: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 7.1 to 9.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. 19% 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. 39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Portland rate of 31.4%.
Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. Filings are well documented here: 1,475 across 3 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 10.3% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.4% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 52 mapped neighborhoods of Portland, it ranks #23 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Slabtown and Albina score within a fraction of it.
Average gross rent runs $1,616, close to the Portland average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $85,923.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
