Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Jefferson Park
Cost burden runs around a third here against 45.4% across Denver County. 75% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.
Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. Disability prevalence runs 18.8% against 31.5% nationally. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 268 filings here across 8 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2009 at 6.0% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 3.5% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
