Lakewood Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10.

Court records carry 64 eviction filings across 1 observed years. On the high side, local political climate reads 7/10.

The worst year on record was 2010, when 5.3% of renter households were served. At $1,957 a month, rents run 8% over what the rest of Lakewood commands.

In a typical year about 5.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.2/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 47% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

It tracks the Jefferson County average of 4.7 closely. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $103,594. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
