Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Auraria
Average gross rent is $2,875, 57% above the Denver average. What pushes it up most is local political climate at 9/10. The voucher gap is 34.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Running hot, supply constraint reads 8.4/10. Against the Denver County average of 6.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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.
Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.2/10.
Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $180,104.
42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
