Civic Center is a one-tract neighborhood of Denver, CO, population 1,948. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Denver baseline of 29.2%, 50% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
91% 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. 28% 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. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.2/10.
At $1,318 a month, rents sit 28% under what the rest of Denver commands. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. That places it #16 of 75 neighborhoods in Denver.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Sherman Street Historic District and Cherry Hills East. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $52,404.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
