Abbey Eviction Risk: Elevated

6 census tracts · pop 24,980 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.2/10 · range 3.6–7.3

Abbey takes in 6 census tracts of Federal Heights, CO, population 24,980. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.2/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.6 to 7.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.6/10.

Filings are well documented here: 3,385 across 6 observed tracts. The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 141.7% of renter households.

On the high side is housing-court posture at 7/10. Judgments average 11.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

43% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Average gross rent runs $1,767, close to the Federal Heights average. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $70,485.

30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3.7 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
