Analysis

What drives eviction risk in South Park Hill

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. 37% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Denver County average of 45.4%.

The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Disability prevalence runs 19.1% against 31.5% nationally. It sits 1.3 points below the Denver County average of 6.7.

At $1,530 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Denver commands. The filing record is not thin: 57 evictions over 8 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2009 at 4.2% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. In a typical year about 1.5% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
