Sweetgrass Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 1,398 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Sweetgrass maps to a single census tract in Dacono, CO and houses 1,398 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. 81% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Dacono rate of 29.5%.

At $3,080 a month, rents sit 69% over what the rest of Dacono commands. The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 10/10.

The voucher gap is 101.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10.

At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $155,556.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
