Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Nob Hill
The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.
Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.
Against the Multnomah County average of 7.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points. At $1,313 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Portland commands.
The filing record is not thin: 504 evictions over 16 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2005 at 2.7% 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 1.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 3.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 2.9 points hotter.
