Sandown spans 4 census tracts of Denver, CO, population 19,123. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.2/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Denver rate of 29.2%.
32% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.4 to 8.2, a 2.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The strongest single driver of the headline number is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.8/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
Court records for this tract carry 249 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 9.1% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 4.1% in 2016, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $1,959, 7% above the Denver average of $1,831.
Among the 75 mapped neighborhoods of Denver, it ranks #53 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Denver Connection and Cole. Against average income of $121,966, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
