Mississippi Eviction Risk: Elevated , Portland

What pushes it up most is local political climate at 9/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 451 filings here across 16 tracked years. At $1,827 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Portland commands.

Filings peaked in 2004 at 11.8% 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 4.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 85th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3/10. 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. It tracks the Multnomah County average of 7.4 closely.

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.
