Denver Eviction Risk: High

Average gross rent is $1,204, 34% below the Denver average. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 73% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.

It sits 1.5 points above the Denver County average of 6.7. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

The filing record is not thin: 1,072 evictions over 8 years of observation. Adults with no health insurance runs 18.8% against 11.3% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2009, when 16.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 10.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 92% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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