Sherman Street Historic District Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 2,743 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.6/10 · range 7.6–7.6

Sherman Street Historic District is a one-tract neighborhood of Denver, CO and houses 2,743 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 78% 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.

Cost burden runs 39% against 29.2% citywide, putting Sherman Street Historic District 9.7% over its own city. What pushes the score up most is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10.

21% 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. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. At $1,549 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Denver commands.

Among the 75 mapped neighborhoods of Denver, it ranks #16 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Civic Center and Cherry Hills East score within a fraction of it.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $70,101.

One tract means one number: 7.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
