City Park West takes in 2 census tracts of Denver, CO and houses 5,704 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.6/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Denver baseline of 29.2%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6.2 to 8.2, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.1/10.
At $1,519 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Denver commands. Court records carry 423 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
The poverty rate is 16%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 4.7% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.5% in 2016, is well off that peak.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
