Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Golden Triangle
This is renter territory: 83% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.
At $2,335 a month, rents run 28% over what the rest of Denver commands. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.1/10.
Against Denver County at 45.4%, 53% of renters here are cost-burdened. The filing record is not thin: 397 evictions over 8 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2011 at 8.3% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 6.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 82% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 3.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
