North Park Hill is a 2-tract neighborhood of Denver, CO, population 11,133. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 29.2% citywide, putting North Park Hill 14.7% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The dominant input is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10.
At $2,362 a month, rents sit 29% over what the rest of Denver commands. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2/10. Filings are well documented here: 162 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 6.9% of renter households.
The voucher gap is 10.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The most recent observed rate, 3.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #70 of 75 neighborhoods in Denver.
Only 18% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Highland and Sloan Lake. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.5 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 5.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
