3 census tracts · pop 11,872 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.1/10 · range 6.3–8.3

Washington Village takes in 3 census tracts of Boulder, CO and houses 11,872 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.1/10, in the Elevated tier. The severe-burden share is 26%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.3 to 8.3, a 2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.

Court records for this tract carry 2 eviction filings. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, slightly below the Boulder rate of 44.1%. Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 0.3% of renter households.

Among the 13 mapped neighborhoods of Boulder, it ranks #10 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 0.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Winding Trail Village and Table Mesa.

Against average income of $153,651, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $2,046, close to the Boulder average.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
