Wellshire Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 4,007 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.1/10 · range 6.1–6.1

Wellshire maps to a single census tract in Englewood, CO and houses 4,007 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.1/10, Elevated tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Englewood rate of 31.5%.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. This is a renter market: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.6/10. 21% 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 $2,015, 21% above the Englewood average of $1,668. The filing record is not thin: 450 evictions logged in this tract.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 10.2% of renter households. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10.

Recent filings have not receded much: 7.7% in 2017 against a 10.2% peak. For a like-for-like read, Rosedale and Harvey Park South score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.1/10 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.
