Jade District Eviction Risk: Elevated , Portland

Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

It sits 0.9 points below the Multnomah County average of 7.4. The filing record is not thin: 558 evictions over 16 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2004 at 7.9% of renter households.

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 4.6% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 82nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.1/10.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. roughly one in two of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Average gross rent is $1,630, close to the Portland average.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
