San Rafael Historic District Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 1,944 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7/10 · range 7–7

San Rafael Historic District is a one-tract neighborhood of Denver, CO and houses 1,944 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Denver baseline of 29.2%, 41% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The dominant input is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.

Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.3/10.

The filing record is not thin: 141 evictions logged in this tract. Average gross rent is $1,572, 14% below the Denver average of $1,831.

Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 6.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 75 mapped neighborhoods of Denver, it ranks #30 by risk, the middle third.

For a like-for-like read, Whittier and Swallow Hill Historic District score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $84,688.

58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 7/10 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.
