17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

The filing record is not thin: 3 evictions over 1 years of observation. At $1,859 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Fort Collins commands. The worst year on record was 2010, when 1.2% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 1.2% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 6.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 44% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

It tracks the Larimer County average of 5.3 closely.
