K-Land Eviction Risk: Moderate

6 census tracts · pop 24,248 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.5/10 · range 5.1–5.7

K-Land is a 6-tract neighborhood of Colorado Springs, CO, population 24,248. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 52% against 32.0% citywide, putting K-Land 19.9% over its own city.

The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2.1/10.

At $1,249 a month, rents sit 24% under what the rest of Colorado Springs commands. Filings are well documented here: 1,353 across 4 observed tracts. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10.

The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 20.3% of renter households. That places it #8 of 17 neighborhoods in Colorado Springs.

Judgments average 11.1% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Knob Hill and Roswell.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 6 tracts score within 0.6 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $55,917.

49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

With little internal variation, 5.5/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
