Peninsula is a 2-tract neighborhood of Aurora, CO and houses 5,552 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, in the Elevated tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Aurora rate of 35.0%.
27% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

Average gross rent is $1,678, 9% below the Aurora average of $1,835. That places it #1 of 21 neighborhoods in Aurora.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $66,481.
63% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
