Union Station is a one-tract neighborhood of Denver, CO and houses 3,311 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, in the Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $2,609, 42% above the Denver average of $1,831.
85% 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. The strongest single driver of the headline number is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.9/10. The voucher gap is 21.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Against a Denver baseline of 29.2%, 34% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. That places it #67 of 75 neighborhoods in Denver.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $123,452.
One tract means one number: 5.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
