Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Freewater
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 9.6/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Milton-Freewater, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Umatilla County average of 5.5 and below the Oregon statewide average of 6.0. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is Hispanic or Latino and White and ranks around the 96th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
