Mead maps to a single census tract in Aurora, CO, population 6,943. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, Lower tier. Against a Aurora baseline of 35.0%, roughly two in three of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
At $3,501 a month, rents sit 91% over what the rest of Aurora commands. What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 10/10.
The voucher gap is 63.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Among the 21 mapped neighborhoods of Aurora, it ranks #19 by risk, the lower third. At 2% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Country Village and Traditions score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $186,250.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
