Spring Creek takes in 2 census tracts of Colorado Springs, CO, population 7,549. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Colorado Springs baseline of 32.0%, 45% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. 17% 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.
Average gross rent is $1,295, 21% below the Colorado Springs average of $1,648. The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Court records for this tract carry 264 eviction filings. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2017 at 13.5% of renter households.
That places it #1 of 17 neighborhoods in Colorado Springs. Judgments average 7.1% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $54,397. 62% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 5.7/10 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.
