· range 6.3–7.9
Multnomah Village spans 3 census tracts of Portland, OR and houses 16,641 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.1/10, in the Elevated tier. What pushes the score up most 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.
Cost burden runs 39% against 31.4% citywide, putting Multnomah Village 7.7% over its own city. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.3 to 7.9, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
13% 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. Court records carry 1,255 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 7.2% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.0% in 2016, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $1,537, 7% below the Portland average of $1,655.
That places it #38 of 52 neighborhoods in Portland. The closest comparables inside the same city are Colonial Heights and Mountain Park. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.1 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.
