Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Alamo Placita

The dominant input is local political climate at 9/10. 80% 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.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.1/10.

Average gross rent is $2,126, 16% above the Denver average. 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. Nationally it ranks #14,906 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter.

48% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Denver County average of 6.7 closely.

Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $91,506.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
