· range 5.4–7.2
Cheesman Park spans 5 census tracts of Denver, CO and houses 16,939 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.7/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Denver baseline of 29.2%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The dominant input is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The 5 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.4 to 7.2, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.1/10.
Filings are well documented here: 584 across 3 observed tracts. Average gross rent is $1,582, 14% below the Denver average of $1,831.
The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 2.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.2% in 2016, is well off that peak.
That places it #38 of 75 neighborhoods in Denver. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $92,205. 61% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
