Highlands Ranch Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.3/10.

The voucher gap is 17.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. That is riskier than roughly 49% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

49% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Douglas County average of 4.3 closely. Average gross rent is $2,520, close to the Highlands Ranch average.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $127,371. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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