Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Alamo Placita
What pushes it up most is local political climate at 9/10. This is renter territory: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.
Running cool, economic stress reads 1.7/10. Disability prevalence runs 19.1% against 31.5% nationally. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 387 filings here across 8 tracked years. At $1,577 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Denver commands.
The worst year on record was 2010, when 3.9% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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. In a typical year about 2.5% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
