Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lakewood
The heaviest input here is eviction process difficulty at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Lakewood eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Jefferson County average of 5.8 and above the Colorado statewide average of 5.7. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 92 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 9.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 9.8% of renter households in 2010.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 70th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
