Promontory North Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 2,189 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.1/10 · range 6.1–6.1

Promontory North is a one-tract neighborhood of Boulder, CO and houses 2,189 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.1/10, in the Elevated tier. Average gross rent is $729, 64% below the Boulder average of $2,018.

Cost burden runs 55% against 44.1% citywide, putting Promontory North 11.3% over its own city. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.1/10.

On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. 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.

The filing record is not thin: 5 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 4.2% of renter households. That places it #12 of 13 neighborhoods in Boulder.

Judgments average 3.3% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Table Mesa and Winding Trail Village.

Against average income of $145,484, annual rent is only 6%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 6.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
