Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Slabtown
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. 38% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Multnomah County average of 49.7%.
Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 208 filings here across 16 tracked years. At $1,831 a month, rents run 11% over what the rest of Portland commands.
The worst year on record was 2001, when 4.8% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 2.3% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 85th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 1.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
