Analysis

What drives eviction risk in South Salem

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.1/10. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.2/10. Court records carry 98 eviction filings across 16 observed years. It sits 0.8 points below the Marion County average of 6.0.

Average gross rent is $1,222, 13% below the Salem average. Filings peaked in 2005 at 5.4% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.2% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.6/10.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
