At $1,420 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Portland commands. Against the Multnomah County average of 7.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points.

Filings peaked in 2006 at 6.7% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Portland.
