Whitwood Court takes in 4 census tracts of Portland, OR and houses 13,402 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.2/10, High tier. Against a Portland baseline of 31.4%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.8 to 9.1, a 2.3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
23% 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. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10.
Court records carry 1,428 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 14.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.2% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Average gross rent is $1,551, 6% below the Portland average of $1,655. That places it #13 of 52 neighborhoods in Portland.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $73,401. 44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 8.2 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.
