Among the 27 mapped neighborhoods of Fort Collins, it ranks #19 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 0.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Saddle Brook and Ridgewood Hills score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $92,083.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
