Mountain Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Portland, OR and houses 4,414 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.2/10, in the Elevated tier. 70% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Portland rate of 31.4%.
The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.
Running hot 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: 481 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 6.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $1,551, 6% below the Portland average of $1,655.
Among the 52 mapped neighborhoods of Portland, it ranks #35 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Colonial Heights and Mississippi score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $92,453.
47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
