What drives eviction risk in Colonial Heights
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 925 filings here across 16 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2005, when 8.3% 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 4.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 7.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
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.
