Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Platt Park
The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. This is renter territory: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.8/10. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Disability prevalence runs 19.5% against 31.5% nationally.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 186 filings here across 8 tracked years. At $2,102 a month, rents run 15% over what the rest of Denver commands.
Filings peaked in 2010 at 7.4% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 3.0% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 81st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.8/10.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
