Analysis

What drives eviction risk in South Park Hill

73% 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. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. Average gross rent is $1,404, 23% below the Denver average. Cost burden runs 50% here against 45.4% across Denver County.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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. On the national scale it lands near the 85th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Denver County average of 6.7 closely. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $64,088.
