Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mocks Bottom

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Average gross rent is $2,087, 26% above the Portland average.

Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable").

Nationally it ranks #12,919 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
