The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.5 to 8.1, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 8.3% of renter households. Average gross rent is $2,020, 10% above the Denver average of $1,831.
The most recent observed rate, 3.9% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 75 mapped neighborhoods of Denver, it ranks #23 by risk, the upper third. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $90,470.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
