Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sterling Hills

The heaviest input here is eviction process difficulty at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Aurora eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Arapahoe County average of 6.3 and above the Colorado statewide average of 5.7. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

The tract is White and Hispanic or Latino and ranks around the 43rd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 369 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 11.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 21.0% of renter households in 2017.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
