Clifton Eviction Risk: Moderate

The severe-burden share is 35%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 1.3 points above the Mesa County average of 4.5. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 2.8/10.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 6.9/10.

The filing record is not thin: 182 evictions over 2 years of observation. Average gross rent is $972, 12% below the Clifton average.

The worst year on record was 2006, when 21.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 17.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
