About eviction risk in Grand Lake, CO

Grand Lake, CO has an eviction risk score of 4.6 out of 10, placing it in the moderate-risk tier for landlords operating in Grand County and the state of Colorado. The score combines local political climate, court disposition patterns, cost-of-eviction estimates, tenant organizing strength, and the likelihood of new tenant-protective legislation in the next legislative cycle.

Census ACS 2023 5-year estimates show median gross rent as a percentage of household income is 22.3% — a core driver of eviction filings, because households above 30% of income on rent are statistically more likely to miss a payment after any income shock. About 19.2% of occupied units here are renter-occupied.

Economic stress: poverty rate 13.0%, unemployment 2.0%. Higher values correlate with higher eviction filing rates and longer court timelines.

Political climate: In 2020, Grand County voted Republican by 1.8 points — classified as politically mixed for purposes of rent-control or just-cause expansion risk.

What this score means for landlords
