University Hills Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,801 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

University Hills maps to a single census tract in Holly Hills, CO and houses 2,801 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.8/10.

The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.9/10. 34% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Holly Hills rate of 28.7%.

Court records for this tract carry 82 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 24.2% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 42.9% in 2017 against a 24.2% peak.

Only 15% 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 $127,989, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $1,458, close to the Holly Hills average.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
