Palomino Park Resort Eviction Risk: Moderate

6 census tracts · pop 21,116 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.6/10 · range 4.1–5.6

Palomino Park Resort takes in 6 census tracts of Highlands Ranch, CO, population 21,116. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Highlands Ranch rate of 29.8%.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.3/10. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Scores across the 6 constituent tracts range from 4.1 to 5.6. A 1.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. The voucher gap is 15.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Court records carry 173 eviction filings across its 6 observed tracts.

Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 9.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.7% in 2017, is well off that peak. At 24% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,472, close to the Highlands Ranch average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $133,445.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
