The Hilltop Eviction Risk: Moderate

3 census tracts · pop 14,994 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.5/10 · range 5.4–5.6

The Hilltop is a 3-tract neighborhood of Beaverton, OR, population 14,994. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Beaverton baseline of 29.9%, 42% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.4/10.

Court records carry 122 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.1/10.

The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 18.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.6% in 2018, is well off that peak.

That places it #11 of 14 neighborhoods in Beaverton. Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

The closest comparables inside the same city are West Slope and Sexton Mountain. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Its 3 tracts score within 0.2 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
