West Highland Eviction Risk: Elevated , Wheat Ridge

It sits 2.6 points above the Jefferson County average of 4.7. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 136 eviction filings across 1 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2010 at 9.9% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Denver. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 9.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,468, close to the Wheat Ridge average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
