Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Terwilliger

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Against Multnomah County at 49.7%, 40% of renters here are cost-burdened. Average gross rent is $1,908, 15% above the Portland average.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 84th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Multnomah County average of 7.4 closely.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $102,083. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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