Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Commerce City

The heaviest input here is housing court bias at 4.7/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Commerce City eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Adams County average of 6.3 and in line with the Colorado statewide average of 5.7. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 170 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 38.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 25.9% of renter households in 2006.

The tract is White and Hispanic or Latino and ranks around the 40th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
