Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Clayton

Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against the Denver County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.1/10.

Cost burden runs 39% here against 45.4% across Denver County. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 268 filings here across 8 tracked years.

Adults with no health insurance runs 18.5% against 11.3% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,638, 11% below the Denver average.

Filings peaked in 2011 at 7.9% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 5.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #6,676 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.5/10. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 3.3 points hotter.
