Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bonny Slope

At $2,602 a month, rents run 57% over what the rest of Portland commands. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10.

Cost burden runs 62% here against 49.7% across Multnomah County. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

The voucher gap is 30.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. It sits 1.1 points below the Multnomah County average of 7.4.

Adults with no health insurance runs 3.2% against 11.3% nationally. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.1/10. Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $250,001, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.
