The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 136 filings here across 8 tracked years. At $1,551 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Denver commands.
Against the Denver County average of 6.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. The worst year on record was 2009, when 5.0% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Denver.

That is riskier than roughly 77% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
