West Colfax Eviction Risk: Moderate , Denver

34% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Denver County average of 45.4%. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.1/10.

Against the Denver County average of 6.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $2,094 a month, rents run 14% over what the rest of Denver commands.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $135,076.

35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
