Highland Park spans 3 census tracts of Fruitvale, CO, population 12,615. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. The voucher gap is 46.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
23% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. The dominant input is supply constraint at 9.2/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.7/10.
Court records carry 46 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. 9% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 11.6% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,824, 8% above the Fruitvale average of $1,686. Recent filings have not receded much: 7.6% in 2008 against a 11.6% peak.
At 13% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Its 3 tracts score within 0.3 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $80,720.
With little internal variation, 3.8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
