Mahan Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 7,017 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.3/10 · range 6.3–6.3

Mahan is a one-tract neighborhood of Hillsboro, OR and houses 7,017 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.3/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Hillsboro baseline of 28.4%, 50% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.5/10.

21% 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. Average gross rent is $1,603, 19% below the Hillsboro average of $1,978. The filing record is not thin: 178 evictions logged in this tract.

The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 4.5% of renter households. Running cool is supply constraint, at 3/10.

Recent filings have not receded much: 3.0% in 2018 against a 4.5% peak. That places it #7 of 12 neighborhoods in Hillsboro. The closest comparables inside the same city are Dawson Creek and Virginia Place.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

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.
