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

What pushes it up most 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.

59% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Multnomah County average of 49.7%. It sits 1.5 points above the Multnomah County average of 7.4. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

The filing record is not thin: 843 evictions over 16 years of observation. Average gross rent is $1,506, 9% below the Portland average.

The worst year on record was 2007, when 11.8% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Portland. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 7.5% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.8/10.

Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 2.8 points hotter.

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