Official neighborhood association: Hosford-Abernethy
Published fit 43 uses default walkable weights and a $2,500 ACS rent budget — the same number as the Portland table. Your current weights score this 43.
Data period. ACS 2024 5-year (2020-2024) · PPB May 2025 – Apr 2026 · OSM Sep 2026. ACS and PPB retrieved 2026-09-23; OSM retrieved 2026-09-23. Editorial copy last revised Sep 2026.
Division and Clinton are the searches. The official name is Hosford-Abernethy. The polygon also takes the industrial edge toward the river, so the property rate — second-highest here — is not a story about every Clinton bungalow.

Overlapping 5-year ACS windows (B25064), not asking rent. Census does not publish a rent series for each official neighborhood, so the line is the city place. The dashed mark is this area’s ACS 2024 median.
HUD treats 30% of income as the cost-burden line. We do not split ACS rent into 1-bed vs 2-bed. Method.

$1K ACS median rent
The official name is Portland Downtown. Pioneer Courthouse Square and the bus mall are the center; the Part I count includes visitors and the night. Walk is the point. A yard is not. Old Town is a different association and not this row.
$2K ACS median rent
Hawthorne’s south side and the eastern run of Division both land in Richmond. Cafes, houses, and the lowest violent rate in this set. Sunnyside is the north side of Hawthorne, its own association.
$2K ACS median rent
The bluff over Interstate Avenue. The upper streets are houses; the avenue is the strip. Kenton is north. Boise is east — Mississippi, not this row.
$2K ACS median rent
Hawthorne’s north side. Belmont sits in the same small association. Search Hawthorne and Richmond also answers; this is the row people mean when they mean the street. A yard is rare.
$2K ACS median rent
A small association between the river and MLK, south of Boise. Broadway is the edge. The property rate is the highest in this Portland set because that edge is busy — it is not a score for every side street.
