Side Creek maps to a single census tract in Aurora, CO and houses 5,072 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Aurora rate of 35.0%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.5/10. 23% 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. At $2,256 a month, rents sit 23% over what the rest of Aurora commands.
The filing record is not thin: 147 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 8.0% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 10.6% in 2017 against a 8.0% peak.
That places it #16 of 21 neighborhoods in Aurora. At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
The closest comparables inside the same city are The Vistas and Sterling Hills. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $106,018.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
