These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Slabtown
This is renter territory: 83% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Against Multnomah County at 49.7%, 38% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 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.
That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 2.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Multnomah County average of 7.4 closely. Average gross rent is $1,602, close to the Portland average.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $81,731.
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.
