Lents Eviction Risk: Elevated , Portland

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. 16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,020 filings here across 16 tracked years. At $1,449 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Portland commands.

Filings peaked in 2000 at 16.9% 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 9.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #9,043 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter.
