Lakewood Eviction Risk: Elevated

Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $63,452, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. It sits 1.9 points above the Jefferson County average of 4.7.

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 7.5/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 7/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 92 filings here across 1 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2010 at 9.8% of renter households. In a typical year about 9.8% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #14,906 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,814, close to the Lakewood average. 59% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
