Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Hawthorne

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. At $1,334 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Portland commands. It sits 0.9 points above the Multnomah County average of 7.4.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 652 filings here across 16 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2001, when 8.0% 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 3.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #6,330 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.9/10.

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.
