Rock Creek is a one-tract suburb of Rockcreek, OR, population 7,103. The Eviction Risk Score is 5/10, in the Moderate tier. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Rockcreek rate of 30.2%.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 515 evictions logged in this tract.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 10.9% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 6.4% in 2018, is well off that peak. Rent takes 20% 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 $1,603, close to the Rockcreek average. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
