· range 6.3–9.1
Roseway spans 10 census tracts of Portland, OR, population 38,486. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.2/10, in the Elevated tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Portland rate of 31.4%.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6.3 to 9.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. 18% 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.
Filings are well documented here: 4,291 across 9 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 21.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 4.2% in 2016, is well off that peak.
That places it #35 of 52 neighborhoods in Portland. The closest comparables inside the same city are Mountain Park and Colonial Heights.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $1,583, close to the Portland average. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.2 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.
