Belmont Eviction Risk: Elevated , Portland

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. 24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

Court records carry 182 eviction filings across 16 observed years. 45% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Multnomah County average of 49.7%. At $1,828 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Portland commands.

The worst year on record was 2000, when 2.9% 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 1.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 89th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 1.7 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.
