Alberta Eviction Risk: Elevated , Portland

What pushes it up most is local political climate at 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. 18% 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 $2,052, 24% above the Portland average. It sits 1.1 points below the Multnomah County average of 7.4. Court records carry 339 eviction filings across 16 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2000, when 11.0% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 4.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 80% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
