Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wellshire

The dominant input is local political climate at 9/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.

Against the Denver County average of 6.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points. At $2,141 a month, rents run 17% over what the rest of Denver commands.

The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 32 filings here across 8 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2010 at 7.0% of renter households.

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. In a typical year about 2.5% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 6% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.3/10.

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