Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Alamo Placita

27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.6/10. Against the Denver County average of 6.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points.

At $2,158 a month, rents run 18% over what the rest of Denver commands. Cost burden runs 40% here against 45.4% across Denver County. The filing record is not thin: 10 evictions over 6 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2011 at 0.9% of renter households. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 0.5% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $160,329, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.
