Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Portland Heights
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Against Multnomah County at 49.7%, 39% of renters here are cost-burdened.
At $2,074 a month, rents run 25% over what the rest of Portland commands. Against the Multnomah County average of 7.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points. Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
The filing record is not thin: 39 evictions over 12 years of observation. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.8% against 11.3% nationally. Filings peaked in 2005 at 6.9% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 2.8% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #16,571 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
