West Slope is a one-tract suburb of Beaverton, OR, population 6,540. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, Moderate tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. Against a Beaverton baseline of 29.9%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 18% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
At $1,507 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Beaverton commands. Court records for this tract carry 163 eviction filings.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.5/10. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 3.7% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 3.4% in 2018 against a 3.7% peak. Among the 14 mapped neighborhoods of Beaverton, it ranks #11 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Sexton Mountain and South Beaverton.
Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 5.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
