Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Aurora Highlands

Severe burden reaches 30%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.9/10. Against the Arapahoe County average of 4.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.

The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.8/10. Court records carry 1,256 eviction filings across 5 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2011 at 30.9% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,675, 9% below the Aurora average.

In a typical year about 25.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.
