Oak Crest is a one-tract neighborhood of Denver, CO and houses 10,366 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.3/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Denver baseline of 29.2%, roughly three in four of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.2/10. Court records for this tract carry 943 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 13.3% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 13.6% in 2016 against a 13.3% peak. At $1,967 a month, rents sit 7% over what the rest of Denver commands.
That places it #46 of 75 neighborhoods in Denver. Only 16% 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 Theatre District and Jefferson Park.
One tract means one number: 6.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
