Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Waverly Heights
What moves this score most is rent-control risk at 8.3/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Clackamas County average of 5.8 and in line with the Oregon statewide average of 6.0. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 92 eviction filings here over 6 tracked years, with about 2.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 2.6% of renter households in 2007.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 63rd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
