Sherman Street Historic District Eviction Risk: Elevated , Denver

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 nearby. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. 39% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Denver County average of 45.4%.

At $1,549 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Denver commands. It sits 0.9 points above the Denver County average of 6.7. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.

Nationally it ranks #9,927 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 4.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
