Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. 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 Belmont

This is renter territory: 85% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.

Nationally it ranks #9,433 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.6/10. Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 51% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

It tracks the Multnomah County average of 7.4 closely.

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.
