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 Arleta

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 213 filings here across 16 tracked years. At $1,806 a month, rents run 9% over what the rest of Portland commands.

Filings peaked in 2005 at 5.8% of renter households. 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 3.3% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 84th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.3/10. Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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