Harvey Park Eviction Risk: Elevated

3 census tracts · pop 19,693 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.5/10 · range 7.1–7.7

Harvey Park takes in 3 census tracts of Denver, CO and houses 19,693 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.5/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Denver baseline of 29.2%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

What pushes the score up most is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. 22% 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. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,471, 20% below the Denver average of $1,831. Filings are well documented here: 1,656 across 3 observed tracts.

Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 17.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.6% in 2016, is well off that peak.

Among the 75 mapped neighborhoods of Denver, it ranks #20 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Little Saigon and Civic Center.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 3 tracts score within 0.6 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $76,435.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
