Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Marquam Hill

Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. 44% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Multnomah County average of 49.7%. Against the Multnomah County average of 7.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points.

The filing record is not thin: 243 evictions over 16 years of observation. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.1% against 11.3% nationally. At $1,487 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Portland commands.

Filings peaked in 2016 at 2.4% 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 1.4% of renter households face a filing.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
