What drives eviction risk in West Highland
The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Disability prevalence runs 19.1% against 31.5% nationally. It sits 1.3 points below the Denver County average of 6.7. Court records carry 76 eviction filings across 8 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2014 at 2.3% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 1.4% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.3/10.
