Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Roseway

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

Cost burden runs 41% here against 49.7% across Multnomah County. Court records carry 630 eviction filings across 16 observed years.

Against the Multnomah County average of 7.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points. At $1,485 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Portland commands. The worst year on record was 2003, when 5.8% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 4.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 84th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 5.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $101,845, annual rent is just 17%. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most 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.
