Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Westminster

The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10.

18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the Adams County average of 4.5, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.6/10. The filing record is not thin: 261 evictions over 5 years of observation. Adults with no health insurance runs 18.7% against 11.3% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2006, when 8.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 5.3% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
