Valverde Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 4,044 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.2/10 · range 8.2–8.2

Valverde maps to a single census tract in Denver, CO and houses 4,044 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8.2/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs 59% against 29.2% citywide, putting Valverde 29.5% over its own city.

The dominant input is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.

The poverty rate is 23%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The filing record is not thin: 258 evictions logged in this tract. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.5/10.

The severe-burden share is 10%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 6.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.8% in 2016, is well off that peak.

That places it #1 of 75 neighborhoods in Denver. For a like-for-like read, Ruby Hill and Mariposa District score within a fraction of it.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. 59% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 8.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
