Whitford Eviction Risk: Elevated

6 census tracts · pop 24,621 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.8/10 · range 6–7.9

Whitford takes in 6 census tracts of Beaverton, OR and houses 24,621 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.8/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 57% against 29.9% citywide, putting Whitford 26.8% over its own city.

The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.2/10.

The 6 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6 to 7.9, a 1.9-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.4/10.

Filings are well documented here: 629 across 5 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2018, when filings touched 4.2% of renter households.

Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10. Average gross rent is $1,616, 12% below the Beaverton average of $1,826.

That places it #6 of 14 neighborhoods in Beaverton. Judgments average 0.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Gray Oak and West Beaverton. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $84,158. 52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.9 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
