Saddle Brook Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,957 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.5/10 · range 5.5–5.5

Saddle Brook maps to a single census tract in Fort Collins, CO, population 3,957. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, in the Moderate tier. 57% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Fort Collins rate of 33.7%.

Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.9/10. The voucher gap is 15.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 23 evictions logged in this tract. At $1,956 a month, rents sit 16% over what the rest of Fort Collins commands.

Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 7.1% of renter households. Among the 27 mapped neighborhoods of Fort Collins, it ranks #18 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 2.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

For a like-for-like read, Bucking Horse and Ridgewood Hills score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $97,068.

36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 5.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
