Whiteaker Eviction Risk: High , Eugene

At $855 a month, rents run 39% under what the rest of Eugene commands. The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Against the Lane County average of 6.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.2 points. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 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 nearby. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $29,152, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Cost burden runs 39% here against 46.2% across Lane County.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 390 filings here across 16 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2007 at 4.5% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.3% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 93rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.2/10.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
