What drives eviction risk in Chinatown
The dominant input is local political climate at 9/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.
78% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. At $2,158 a month, rents run 30% over what the rest of Portland commands. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 19.3% against 31.5% nationally.
Against the Multnomah County average of 7.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points. Nationally it ranks #13,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $121,607.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
