Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Union Station
The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. This is renter territory: 85% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 34% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Denver County average of 45.4%.
Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 16.9% against 31.5% nationally. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.9/10.
The voucher gap is 21.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Denver County average of 6.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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. That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.8/10.
