Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Reed

The dominant input is local political climate at 9/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

Cost burden runs 58% here against 49.7% across Multnomah County. Court records carry 2,304 eviction filings across 16 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2005, when 14.0% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

In a typical year about 11.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 90% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 5.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Multnomah County average of 7.4 closely.
