Middle Shooks Run Eviction Risk: Moderate

3 census tracts · pop 6,820 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 4.7–5.7

Middle Shooks Run is a 3-tract neighborhood of Colorado Springs, CO, population 6,820. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Colorado Springs rate of 32.0%.

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. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.7 to 5.7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10.

The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Court records carry 88 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 3/10.

Average gross rent is $1,425, 14% below the Colorado Springs average of $1,648. The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 5.6% of renter households. Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Colorado Springs, it ranks #10 by risk, the middle third.

Judgments average 1.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are K-Land and Knob Hill.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $66,092. 51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
