North Capitol Hill takes in 2 census tracts of Denver, CO and houses 4,749 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.1/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Denver baseline of 29.2%, 45% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
This is a renter market: 93% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The dominant input 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. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6.3 to 8.2, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.5/10.
At $1,641 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Denver commands. That places it #26 of 75 neighborhoods in Denver.
For a like-for-like read, Athmar Park and Upper Downtown score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $71,075.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
