These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Spivak

The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 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. At $1,377 a month, rents run 24% under what the rest of Lakewood commands.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 85 filings here across 1 tracked years. Running hot, local political climate reads 7/10.

The worst year on record was 2010, when 11.6% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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.

In a typical year about 11.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 82nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 8.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
