Riverfront maps to a single census tract in Denver, CO, population 3,387. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Denver rate of 29.2%.
74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. What pushes the score up most is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. Average gross rent is $2,376, 30% above the Denver average of $1,831.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2/10. The voucher gap is 11.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Among the 75 mapped neighborhoods of Denver, it ranks #58 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Auraria and Baker. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $113,406.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
