University District Eviction Risk: High , Portland

What pushes it up most is local political climate at 9/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $46,627 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 1.7 points above the Multnomah County average of 7.4.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

At $1,474 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Portland commands. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Portland. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Nationally it ranks #3,797 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
