Edgemont Eviction Risk: Elevated , Lakewood

Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 77% 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. Against the Jefferson County average of 4.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.9 points.

Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $56,712, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 2.3/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10.

The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 46 filings here across 1 tracked years.

At $1,559 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Lakewood commands. Running hot, local political climate reads 7/10.
