Central Boulder - University Hill Eviction Risk: High

92% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Boulder County average of 52.5%. Set annual rent against average income of $33,729 and the ratio lands at 82%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Against the Boulder County average of 5.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 3.0 points. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 65%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the high side, local political climate reads 9.5/10. This is renter territory: 84% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.

The filing record is not thin: 21 evictions over 1 years of observation. Average gross rent is $2,312, 15% above the Boulder average.

The voucher gap is 12.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Filings peaked in 2002 at 1.4% of renter households.

In a typical year about 1.4% of renter households face a filing.
