Hughes Mountainview Eviction Risk: Elevated

8 census tracts · pop 27,860 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.4/10 · range 5.7–8.2

Hughes Mountainview takes in 8 census tracts of Denver, CO and houses 27,860 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.4/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Denver rate of 29.2%.

Severe burden reaches 32%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The 8 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.7 to 8.2, a 2.5-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The dominant input is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10.

On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Court records carry 2,323 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts.

Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.5/10. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 16.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 4.5% in 2016, is well off that peak.

That places it #21 of 75 neighborhoods in Denver. The closest comparables inside the same city are Montbello and Harvey Park.

Average gross rent runs $1,758, close to the Denver average. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $73,879. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
