Jefferson Park maps to a single census tract in Denver, CO, population 4,496. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.3/10, Elevated tier. This is a renter market: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
13% 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. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.4/10.
The filing record is not thin: 268 evictions logged in this tract. 33% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, slightly above the Denver rate of 29.2%.
Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 6.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.9% in 2016, is well off that peak.
That places it #46 of 75 neighborhoods in Denver. The closest comparables inside the same city are River North RiNo Art District and Oak Crest.
Average gross rent runs $1,808, close to the Denver average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $105,662.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
