Lafayette Eviction Risk: Lower

At $3,501 a month, rents run 65% over what the rest of Lafayette commands. The voucher gap is 70.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. It sits 1.9 points below the Boulder County average of 5.8.

Disability prevalence runs 18.2% against 31.5% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.8/10. The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

The filing record is not thin: 2 evictions over 1 years of observation. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.2% against 11.3% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2002, when 5.1% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 5.1% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 40th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
