Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cole
Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.1/10.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 313 filings here across 8 tracked years. 41% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Denver County average of 45.4%. Filings peaked in 2012 at 6.2% 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. In a typical year about 4.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #17,132 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7/10. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.
