Littleton Eviction Risk: Moderate

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.2/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.3/10. 42% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Arapahoe County average of 50.1%.

Average gross rent is $2,178, 20% above the Littleton average. The filing record is not thin: 78 evictions over 5 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2010 at 11.5% of renter households.

In a typical year about 5.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 51st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Arapahoe County average of 4.7 closely.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
