Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mocks Bottom
Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
At $1,937 a month, rents run 17% over what the rest of Portland commands. Against Multnomah County at 49.7%, 45% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Court records carry 220 eviction filings across 16 observed years. Filings peaked in 2002 at 7.8% 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 3.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. 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.
