Mar Lee takes in 2 census tracts of Denver, CO and houses 13,451 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.6/10, in the Elevated tier. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Denver rate of 29.2%.
What pushes the score up most is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.9 to 8.2, a 1.3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. Court records carry 979 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
11% 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. Average gross rent is $1,573, 14% below the Denver average of $1,831. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 9.5% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.9% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 75 mapped neighborhoods of Denver, it ranks #16 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Civic Center and Sherman Street Historic District.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
