Mississippi Eviction Risk: Elevated , Portland

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 186 filings here across 16 tracked years.

At $1,897 a month, rents run 15% over what the rest of Portland commands. It sits 0.8 points below the Multnomah County average of 7.4.

Filings peaked in 2001 at 8.9% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 4.5% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 82% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.5/10, 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.
