What drives eviction risk in Vermont Hills

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Cost burden runs 58% here against 49.7% across Multnomah County. Court records carry 206 eviction filings across 16 observed years.

In a typical year about 2.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 5.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. It tracks the Multnomah County average of 7.4 closely. Average gross rent is $1,589, close to the Portland average.
