Alamo Placita Eviction Risk: Elevated

The dominant input is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. 21% 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. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.6/10.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.4 to 6.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Court records carry 518 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts.

Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 3.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.1% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 75 mapped neighborhoods of Denver, it ranks #57 by risk, the lower third.

For a like-for-like read, Sandown and Auraria score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent runs $1,884, close to the Denver average. 58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.5 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.
