Arapahoe Ridge takes in 2 census tracts of Boulder, CO and houses 12,022 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, Lower tier. Average gross rent is $3,259, 61% above the Boulder average of $2,018.
The voucher gap is 58.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 9.4/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 6.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.5/10. 16% 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.
Against a Boulder baseline of 44.1%, about half of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The filing record is not thin: 2 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 0.4% of renter households. That places it #13 of 13 neighborhoods in Boulder. Judgments average 0.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. 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 25% of average household income of $156,493.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
