Willow Creek maps to a single census tract in Aloha, OR and houses 5,815 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.3/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.3/10. Court records for this tract carry 54 eviction filings.

Cost burden runs about a quarter against 28.0% citywide, putting Willow Creek 3.8% under its own city. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 1.7% of renter households. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.

Recent filings have not receded much: 1.7% in 2018 against a 1.7% peak. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Aloha, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third.

For a like-for-like read, Sequoia Village and Butternut Creek score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,911, close to the Aloha average.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $106,002. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
