Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Athmar Park

The dominant input is local political climate at 9/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.

Against Denver County at 45.4%, 55% of renters here are cost-burdened. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.1/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 21.7% against 11.3% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 133 evictions over 8 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2009, when 10.5% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Denver. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 3.5% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Denver County average of 6.7 closely. Average gross rent is $1,715, close to the Denver average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
