Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Whiteaker

Against the Lane County average of 6.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.1 points. The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10. Average gross rent is $979, 30% below the Eugene average.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. 67% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The filing record is not thin: 785 evictions over 16 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2007, when 5.5% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 3.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 92nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 9.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. 50% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $47,442.

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.
