Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Upper Downtown

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. 34% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Denver County average of 45.4%.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

At $2,021 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Denver commands. That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Denver County average of 6.7 closely. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $107,721.

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.
