Parkwood Eviction Risk: Elevated

3 census tracts · pop 11,236 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.7/10 · range 5.6–7.3

Parkwood spans 3 census tracts of Fort Collins, CO and houses 11,236 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.7/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 48% against 33.7% citywide, putting Parkwood 13.9% over its own city.

Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 5.6 to 7.3. A 1.7-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

Filings are well documented here: 60 across 3 observed tracts. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 3.4% of renter households.

Among the 27 mapped neighborhoods of Fort Collins, it ranks #8 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 1.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

For a like-for-like read, Trail West and Lexington Green score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,675, close to the Fort Collins average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $79,651.

51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
