Vista Ridge maps to a single census tract in Erie, CO, population 6,126. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Erie baseline of 26.8%, 49% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 72.5%: 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.
The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Average gross rent is $2,635, 6% below the Erie average of $2,805.
That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Erie. Only 20% 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.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Candlelight Ridge and Grandview. Against average income of $173,790, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
