Colonial Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Grand Junction, CO and houses 7,294 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs about half against 29.1% citywide, putting Colonial Heights 20.5% over its own city.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.6/10. The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10.
Average gross rent is $1,344, 18% above the Grand Junction average of $1,142. The filing record is not thin: 50 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 3.3% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 2.6% in 2008 against a 3.3% peak. That places it #5 of 5 neighborhoods in Grand Junction.
Against average income of $89,024, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
