City of Portland, OregonClick here for research on the effects of land use planning and gentrification on Portland's communities of color and other vulnerable populations. Economic Vulnerability Assessment: This map identifies census tracts in Portland where residents are more vulnerable to changing economic conditions, making resisting displacement more difficult. These areas have residents who are more likely to: Be "housing cost-burdened", meaning they pay 30% or more of their income on housing costs. Belong to communities of color, particularly Black and Indigenous communities. Lack college degrees, and Have Lower Incomes. This dataset provides an update to the vulnerability risk analysis that Dr. Lisa Bates prepared for the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability in 2012. This latest dataset includes the following changes in methodology: Low income households were replaced with a size-adjusted median household income. This helps account for how different household sizes experience living with different incomes. Renter households were replaced with households that are housing cost-burdened (pay 30%+ on housing costs). This acknowledges that homeowners who pay a high percentage of their income on housing can be vulnerable to displacement as well. A new variable, Black and Indigenous population, was added to better incorporate past harms to these communities. The vulnerability score was rescaled from 0 to 100. A score of 60 or greater is considered a vulnerable tract. Data sources : U.S. Census Bureau, 2022 ACS 5-year estimates, Tables B25106, B25010, B03002, B19013, B15002.
