University District Eviction Risk: Elevated , Portland

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Against Multnomah County at 49.7%, 38% of renters here are cost-burdened.

70% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Average gross rent is $1,830, 11% above the Portland average. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Portland. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 90% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 4.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
