What drives eviction risk in Chinatown
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.8/10. This is renter territory: 98% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 31% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, local political climate reads 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.
Set annual rent against average income of $33,611 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Against the Multnomah County average of 7.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. On the national scale it lands near the 95th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Social vulnerability reads 7.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 3.0 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
