Quatama Eviction Risk: Elevated

5 census tracts · pop 24,414 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7/10 · range 6.1–7.9

Quatama spans 5 census tracts of Hillsboro, OR and houses 24,414 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 42% against 28.4% citywide, putting Quatama 13.3% over its own city.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10. 78% 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.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6.1 to 7.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.3/10.

14% 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. Filings are well documented here: 784 across 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 5.1% of renter households.

Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Hillsboro, it ranks #4 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 0.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Average gross rent runs $1,884, close to the Hillsboro average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $89,820.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 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.
