Whitwood Court Eviction Risk: Elevated , Portland

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Cost burden runs 38% here against 49.7% across Multnomah County. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 866 evictions over 16 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2004 at 13.7% 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 7.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 4.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. 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. 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.
