Analysis

What drives eviction risk in South Park Hill

The dominant input is local political climate at 9/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. Against Denver County at 45.4%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.7/10. Average gross rent is $2,256, 23% above the Denver average. Against the Denver County average of 6.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 1.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $144,531.
