Heatherwood spans 2 census tracts of Gunbarrel, CO and houses 6,395 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.9/10.
Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 31% of renter households.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.1 to 5.4, a 1.3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Filings are well documented here: 3 across 2 observed tracts.
Average gross rent is $2,286, 16% above the Gunbarrel average of $1,972. Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 1.6% of renter households.
The voucher gap is 11.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Judgments average 1.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $143,866, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
