The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.7/10.

16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10. Court records carry 327 eviction filings across 14 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2013 at 5.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.6% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 72% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

It tracks the Jackson County average of 6.1 closely. Average gross rent is $1,421, close to the Medford average.
