Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wheat Ridge
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.7/10. The filing record is not thin: 82 evictions over 1 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2010 at 5.2% of renter households. In a typical year about 5.2% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 6.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 46% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
