Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Swallow Hill Historic District

This is renter territory: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 410 filings here across 8 tracked years. 41% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Denver County average of 45.4%.

At $2,012 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Denver commands. Filings peaked in 2015 at 4.6% of renter households. 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.

In a typical year about 4.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #12,919 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 2.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
