City Park Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 6,836 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.9/10 · range 6.9–7

City Park spans 2 census tracts of Denver, CO, population 6,836. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.9/10, Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 41% against 29.2% citywide, putting City Park 11.8% over its own city.

What pushes the score up most is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. Filings are well documented here: 364 across 2 observed tracts.

Average gross rent is $1,588, 13% below the Denver average of $1,831. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 4.3% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 0.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #35 of 75 neighborhoods in Denver. Its 2 tracts score within 0.1 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $93,796.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
