Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. At $1,363 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Portland commands. The filing record is not thin: 520 evictions over 16 years of observation.

It sits 0.6 points below the Multnomah County average of 7.4. Filings peaked in 2001 at 11.7% 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 7.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #13,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $104,931, annual rent is just 16%. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 53% of renters.
