Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Colorado Springs

The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 7.7/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the El Paso County average of 5.6 and below the Colorado statewide average of 5.7. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 19th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 5 eviction filings here over 2 tracked years, with about 0.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 0.5% of renter households in 2017.
