Highlands Ranch Eviction Risk: Moderate

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.3/10. 67% 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. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.3/10.

It sits 1.0 points above the Douglas County average of 4.3. Court records carry 132 eviction filings across 2 observed years.

At $2,249 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Highlands Ranch commands. The worst year on record was 2017, when 6.4% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 4.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #28,095 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.

46% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

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