HOLC grade: A: Best

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 Green Hills

What pushes it up most is local political climate at 9/10. Cost burden runs 37% here against 49.7% across Multnomah County.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

The voucher gap is 18.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against the Multnomah County average of 7.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 39 evictions over 13 years of observation. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.2% against 11.3% nationally. The worst year on record was 2004, when 9.1% of renter households were served.

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 2.8% 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.
