Mariposa District maps to a single census tract in Denver, CO and houses 3,813 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.2/10, High tier. Cost burden runs 42% against 29.2% citywide, putting Mariposa District 13.1% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The dominant input is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10.
71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 429 evictions logged in this tract.
At $1,561 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Denver commands. The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 27.2% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 5.3% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 75 neighborhoods in Denver. The closest comparables inside the same city are Ruby Hill and Mile High Vista.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 8.2/10 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.
