Sunny Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,905 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.8/10 · range 3.8–3.8

Sunny Heights maps to a single census tract in Pueblo, CO and houses 3,905 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.8/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 40% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Pueblo rate of 31.9%.

The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 2.5/10. 13% 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.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.8/10. At $947 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Pueblo commands. Among the 24 mapped neighborhoods of Pueblo, it ranks #18 by risk, the lower third.

Only 26% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $71,465, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
