Parkdale Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 8,523 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.6/10 · range 3.9–6.7

Parkdale is a 2-tract neighborhood of Lafayette, CO, population 8,523. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Lafayette rate of 31.9%.

28% 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. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.9 to 6.7. A 2.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 7.6/10.

Running cool is economic stress, at 2.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 7 eviction filings. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10.

Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 3.2% of renter households. Judgments average 1.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Average gross rent runs $2,075, close to the Lafayette average.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $91,336. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.6 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.
