Chaffee Park Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 3,537 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.6/10 · range 6.6–6.6

Chaffee Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Denver, CO and houses 3,537 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.6/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Denver baseline of 29.2%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

29% 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. What pushes the score up most is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.6/10. Average gross rent is $1,414, 23% below the Denver average of $1,831. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.

The filing record is not thin: 89 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 4.6% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 0.6% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #40 of 75 neighborhoods in Denver.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
