Alberta Eviction Risk: Elevated , Portland

At $2,224 a month, rents run 34% over what the rest of Portland commands. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.2/10.

It sits 1.0 points below the Multnomah County average of 7.4. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 32 filings here across 14 tracked years. Against Multnomah County at 49.7%, 45% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Filings peaked in 2001 at 5.8% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 2.3% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 81st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 16% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.5/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
