Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Central City

Against the Multnomah County average of 7.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.4 points. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10.

Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 198 evictions over 16 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2003, when 12.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 6.2% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 2.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $126,995, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.

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.
