Swallow Hill Historic District is a one-tract neighborhood of Denver, CO and houses 2,946 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7/10, Elevated tier. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Denver rate of 29.2%.
81% 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. What pushes the score up most is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. The filing record is not thin: 410 evictions logged in this tract. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 4.6% of renter households. At $2,012 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of Denver commands. Recent filings have not receded much: 4.3% in 2016 against a 4.6% peak.
That places it #30 of 75 neighborhoods in Denver. For a like-for-like read, Whittier and San Rafael Historic District score within a fraction of it.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $94,517.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
