Gateway Eviction Risk: Elevated , Portland

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

15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against Multnomah County at 49.7%, 44% of renters here are cost-burdened. Court records carry 310 eviction filings across 16 observed years.

Average gross rent is $1,485, 10% below the Portland average. Filings peaked in 2005 at 17.8% of renter households.

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. In a typical year about 9.2% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #8,653 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 6.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $99,688, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter. It tracks the Multnomah County average of 7.4 closely.

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.
