Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Gateway

The dominant input is local political climate at 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.4/10.

At $1,284 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Portland commands. It sits 0.9 points above the Multnomah County average of 7.4. Court records carry 918 eviction filings across 16 observed years.

54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Multnomah County average of 49.7%. Filings peaked in 2006 at 10.8% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 6.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 92% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 8.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
