Westminster Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.6/10.

The filing record is not thin: 538 evictions over 5 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2006, when 38.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 20.9% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

53% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Adams County average of 4.5 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,817, close to the Westminster average. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $78,600. 63% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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