Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Powellhurst

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. 71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

It sits 1.0 points above the Multnomah County average of 7.4. Average gross rent is $1,417, 14% below the Portland average.

That is riskier than roughly 93% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 9.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 2.3 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 49% of renters.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
