Capitol Hill Eviction Risk: Elevated , Denver

Against Denver County at 45.4%, 33% of renters here are cost-burdened. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. At $1,292 a month, rents run 29% under what the rest of Denver commands.

71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 19.2% against 31.5% nationally.

12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

On the national scale it lands near the 85th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 3.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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