Orenco Station is a 2-tract neighborhood of Hillsboro, OR and houses 5,658 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, Elevated tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10.
28% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.4/10. 65% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.4 to 6.7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Hillsboro, it ranks #9 by risk, the lower third.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,942, close to the Hillsboro average.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
