Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Happy Canyon

The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.2/10.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.3/10. Court records carry 281 eviction filings across 2 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2010 at 29.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 21.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 6.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 44% of renters. It tracks the Douglas County average of 4.3 closely. Average gross rent is $1,844, close to the Castle Rock average.

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