Analysis

What drives eviction risk in North Hills

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.9/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 31.2% against 11.3% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10.

13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 1.1 points above the Adams County average of 4.5.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.7/10. The filing record is not thin: 420 evictions over 5 years of observation. Average gross rent is $1,652, 13% below the Thornton average.

The worst year on record was 2004, when 127.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 63.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 73% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
