Lower Portland Eviction Risk: Elevated , Tacoma

What pushes it up most is local political climate at 7.8/10. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 189 evictions over 11 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2006 at 7.0% 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 4.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #9,433 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 8.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
