Witch Hazel Village South Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 4,219 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.8/10 · range 6.8–6.8

Witch Hazel Village South maps to a single census tract in Hillsboro, OR and houses 4,219 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.8/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Hillsboro baseline of 28.4%, 81% 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. At $1,432 a month, rents sit 28% under what the rest of Hillsboro commands. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.7/10.

Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.2/10.

The filing record is not thin: 57 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 8.4% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 2.8% in 2018, is well off that peak. That places it #5 of 12 neighborhoods in Hillsboro. Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

For a like-for-like read, Quatama and Virginia Place score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $90,833, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.

One tract means one number: 6.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
