Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Court records carry 388 eviction filings across 16 observed years. Cost burden runs 46% here against 49.7% across Multnomah County. At $1,853 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of Portland commands.

Filings peaked in 2001 at 7.8% 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 4.4% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #10,727 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Multnomah County average of 7.4 closely.

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