Lowell Neighborhood takes in 2 census tracts of Colorado Springs, CO, population 7,624. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs about half against 32.0% citywide, putting Lowell Neighborhood 16.3% over its own city.
25% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,193, 28% below the Colorado Springs average of $1,648.
The filing record is not thin: 83 evictions logged in this tract. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10. The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 6.1% of renter households.
That places it #4 of 17 neighborhoods in Colorado Springs. Judgments average 3.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Printers Park and Roswell. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 2 tracts score within 0.3 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $59,848. 53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
