Saint Johns Eviction Risk: Elevated , Portland

33% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.2/10. Average gross rent is $1,875, 13% above the Portland average.

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. That is riskier than roughly 84% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.1/10.

Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Multnomah County average of 7.4 closely. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $90,760.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
