Analysis

What drives eviction risk in North Capitol Hill

What pushes it up most is local political climate at 9/10. 88% 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.

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 17.6% against 31.5% nationally. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.9/10.

Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Average gross rent is $1,983, 8% above the Denver average. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Denver. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 80% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.6/10.

Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.
