Historic Uptown is a one-tract neighborhood of Colorado Springs, CO and houses 3,527 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, Moderate tier. Against a Colorado Springs baseline of 32.0%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
81% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.4/10.
At $1,138 a month, rents sit 31% under what the rest of Colorado Springs commands. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 43 evictions logged in this tract.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10. The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 2.9% of renter households. That places it #1 of 17 neighborhoods in Colorado Springs.
Judgments average 1.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Mill Street Neighborhood and Spring Creek score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $46,467.
One tract means one number: 5.7/10 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.
