Harvey Park South takes in 3 census tracts of Denver, CO and houses 14,586 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.5/10, in the Elevated tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Denver rate of 29.2%.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.5 to 6.9, a 1.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
Filings are well documented here: 2,587 across 3 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 19.4% of renter households.
That places it #43 of 75 neighborhoods in Denver. Judgments average 4.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Fort Logan and Quality Hill Historic District.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,801, close to the Denver average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $81,887.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
