Auraria maps to a single census tract in Denver, CO and houses 740 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, in the Elevated tier. At $2,875 a month, rents sit 57% over what the rest of Denver commands.
The voucher gap is 34.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The dominant input is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. Cost burden runs 20% against 29.2% citywide, putting Auraria 9.2% under its own city.
Running hot is supply constraint at 8.4/10. 20% 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.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. That places it #58 of 75 neighborhoods in Denver.
For a like-for-like read, Riverfront and Baker score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
