Town Center takes in 2 census tracts of Troutdale, OR and houses 8,962 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.2/10, in the Elevated tier. 59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Troutdale rate of 30.4%.
The severe-burden share is 34%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 7.4/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.8/10.
Filings are well documented here: 1,335 across 2 observed tracts. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10.
The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 21.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.8% in 2016, is well off that peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.5 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $1,712, close to the Troutdale average. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $73,891.
38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 6.2/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
