Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wellshire
The score leans hardest on eviction process difficulty at 8.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Denver eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Denver County average of 6.7 and above the Colorado statewide average of 5.7. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 32 eviction filings here over 8 tracked years, with about 2.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 7.0% of renter households in 2010.
HOLC surveyors mapped this tract in the 1930s with a dominant grade of C ("Declining"), above the redlined D tier. The grading still shaped decades of lending and development in the surrounding area.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
