Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Villa Park
What pushes it up most is local political climate at 9/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.1/10.
Adults with no health insurance runs 23.2% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 41% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Denver County average of 45.4%.
The filing record is not thin: 172 evictions over 8 years of observation. Against the Denver County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points.
Average gross rent is $2,067, 13% above the Denver average. Filings peaked in 2010 at 8.3% 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.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
