South Park Hill Eviction Risk: Moderate , Denver

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.2/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.

Against the Denver County average of 6.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points. Average gross rent is $2,141, 17% above the Denver average. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 90 filings here across 8 tracked years.

8% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Filings peaked in 2010 at 6.2% of renter households. This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Denver. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 5.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 11% 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.
