Ladd's Addition Eviction Risk: Elevated , Portland

What pushes it up most is local political climate at 9/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.2/10.

21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,500, 9% below the Portland average.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 88th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.8/10. Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

50% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

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.
