Marston spans 2 census tracts of Lakewood, CO, population 7,574. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.7/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Lakewood baseline of 32.5%, 59% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. 24% 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.
Filings are well documented here: 117 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 11.4% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $1,951, 8% above the Lakewood average of $1,806. Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Lakewood, it ranks #11 by risk, the lower third.
Judgments average 4.1% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, West Link at Oak Station and Green Mountain Village score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $120,356, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.8 points apart at the extremes.
34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 4.7/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
