Westwood Eviction Risk: High , Denver

Against Denver County at 45.4%, 67% of renters here are cost-burdened. Adults with no health insurance runs 36.8% against 11.3% nationally.

What pushes it up most is local political climate at 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.

It sits 1.5 points above the Denver County average of 6.7. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.1/10.

Court records carry 227 eviction filings across 8 observed years. The worst year on record was 2012, when 6.2% of renter households were served.

At $1,676 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Denver commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. In a typical year about 4.6% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 92nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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