· range 8.1–8.2
Clayton takes in 2 census tracts of Denver, CO and houses 9,000 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8.1/10, placing it in the High tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Denver rate of 29.2%.
What pushes the score up most is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. At $1,527 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Denver commands.
Filings are well documented here: 777 across 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 10.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 4.8% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Among the 75 mapped neighborhoods of Denver, it ranks #12 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Ruby Hill and Mariposa District.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.1 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 8.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
