These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in City Park

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.1/10.

The worst year on record was 2010, when 4.2% of renter households were served. At $1,679 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Denver commands. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Denver. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 2.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 84% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 3.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 2.0 points hotter.
