Dawson Creek is a one-tract neighborhood of Hillsboro, OR and houses 2,219 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.3/10, Elevated tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Against a Hillsboro baseline of 28.4%, 36% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The filing record is not thin: 108 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 6.6% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 6.1% in 2018 against a 6.6% peak.
That places it #7 of 12 neighborhoods in Hillsboro. For a like-for-like read, Mahan and Virginia Place 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 $1,865, close to the Hillsboro average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $100,114.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.3/10 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.
