Butternut Creek takes in 3 census tracts of Aloha, OR and houses 14,368 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.2/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 50% against 28.0% citywide, putting Butternut Creek 21.7% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.6/10.
The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.6 to 6.9, a 1.3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.3/10. Court records for this tract carry 52 eviction filings.
Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 3.3% of renter households. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Average gross rent is $2,037, 7% above the Aloha average of $1,896.
Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Aloha, it ranks #2 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 0.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
