Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Colorado Springs

What moves this score most is eviction process difficulty at 5.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Colorado Springs eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the El Paso County average of 5.6 and in line with the Colorado statewide average of 5.7. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 248 eviction filings here over 2 tracked years, with about 10.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 10.8% of renter households in 2017.

The tract is White and Hispanic or Latino and ranks around the 87th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
