What drives eviction risk in University Hills
82% 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. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.
The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.5 points above the Denver County average of 6.7.
Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. Court records carry 196 eviction filings across 8 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2012 at 4.2% 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 2.1% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #6,676 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.3/10.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
