· range 8.1–9.1
Russellville takes in 3 census tracts of Portland, OR, population 12,896. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.6/10, in the High tier. Against a Portland baseline of 31.4%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 33%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10.
The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 8.1 to 9.1, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records carry 774 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
At $1,395 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Portland commands. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 12.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.1% in 2016, is well off that peak.
That places it #9 of 52 neighborhoods in Portland. For a like-for-like read, University District and Piedmont score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $76,779. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
