Sloan Lake spans 3 census tracts of Denver, CO and houses 7,851 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 46% against 29.2% citywide, putting Sloan Lake 17.2% over its own city.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,386, 24% below the Denver average of $1,831. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.2/10. The severe-burden share is 12%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Court records for this tract carry 31 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 4.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.4% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Among the 75 mapped neighborhoods of Denver, it ranks #67 by risk, the lower third. Against average income of $145,242, annual rent is only 11%, a wide affordability cushion.
The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.6 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 5.7/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
