Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mocks Bottom

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

At $2,050 a month, rents run 24% over what the rest of Portland commands. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Cost burden runs 45% here against 49.7% across Multnomah County.

The filing record is not thin: 140 evictions over 16 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2004 at 4.3% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 1.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.1/10.

Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 1.7 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.
