Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Centennial

What pushes it up most is regional political climate at 8.1/10. 66% 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 softer side, supply constraint reads 2/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 1,936 eviction filings across 16 observed years.

At $1,389 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Gresham commands. The worst year on record was 2006, when 18.4% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 12.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #10,320 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.9/10.

Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for roughly one in two of renters.

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.
