Riverview Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 1,362 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.1/10 · range 9.1–9.1

Riverview is a one-tract suburb of Portland, OR and houses 1,362 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.1/10, placing it in the High tier. Cost burden runs 71% against 31.4% citywide, putting Riverview 39.9% over its own city.

29% 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. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.

Set annual rent against average household income of $48,173 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 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. Court records for this tract carry 140 eviction filings. Average gross rent is $1,392, 16% below the Portland average of $1,655.

Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 15.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.6% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 52 neighborhoods in Portland.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 9.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
