Highland is a 2-tract suburb of Beaverton, OR, population 7,784. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.5/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Beaverton rate of 29.9%.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.8 to 7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.1/10. Among the 14 mapped neighborhoods of Beaverton, it ranks #9 by risk, the middle third.
At 27% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Gray Oak and Whitford score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Average gross rent runs $1,797, close to the Beaverton average.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.5 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.
