Alberta Eviction Risk: Elevated , Portland

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Cost burden runs 44% here against 49.7% across Multnomah County. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 637 filings here across 16 tracked years. It sits 0.8 points below the Multnomah County average of 7.4.

Filings peaked in 2001 at 13.2% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 6.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #14,906 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.5/10, 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.
