Mocks Bottom Eviction Risk: Elevated , Portland

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Against the Multnomah County average of 7.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points. At $1,946 a month, rents run 18% over what the rest of Portland commands.

Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Court records carry 147 eviction filings across 16 observed years. The worst year on record was 2001, when 5.9% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 3.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 3.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
