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

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Cost burden runs 42% here against 49.7% across Multnomah County. The filing record is not thin: 212 evictions over 16 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2001 at 3.8% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. In a typical year about 1.8% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 85th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least 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.
