Alta Vista maps to a single census tract in Fort Collins, CO, population 3,243. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.3/10, in the Elevated tier. 67% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Fort Collins rate of 33.7%.
Set annual rent against average household income of $65,838 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The poverty rate is 28%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 7/10. The filing record is not thin: 29 evictions logged in this tract.
The voucher gap is 12.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $1,911, 13% above the Fort Collins average of $1,690. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 8.6% of renter households.
That places it #1 of 27 neighborhoods in Fort Collins. Judgments average 2.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Woodwest and Andersonville.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
