Platt Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

Running cool is economic stress, at 1.7/10. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.4 to 7.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Average gross rent is $2,223, 21% above the Denver average of $1,831.

Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Against a Denver baseline of 29.2%, 35% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Filings are well documented here: 333 across 4 observed tracts.

The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 7.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.3% in 2016, is well off that peak.

Among the 75 mapped neighborhoods of Denver, it ranks #65 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Highlands Square and Rosedale score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.7 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
