Dove Hill is a 3-tract neighborhood of Centennial, CO and houses 13,635 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.8/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Centennial rate of 29.1%.
30% 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. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.6, a 2.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2/10.
Average gross rent is $1,658, 23% below the Centennial average of $2,148. Court records for this tract carry 75 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 11.3% of renter households.
The voucher gap is 10.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Recent filings have not receded much: 9.1% in 2017 against a 11.3% peak.
Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $124,979, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
