Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Dakota Ridge

The dominant input is local political climate at 7.5/10. 39% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Larimer County average of 46.1%.

Running cool, economic stress reads 3/10. The filing record is not thin: 12 evictions over 1 years of observation.

Average gross rent is $1,922, 14% above the Fort Collins average. The voucher gap is 13.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The worst year on record was 2010, when 1.7% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 1.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 76th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. The legal-climate inputs (statute speed, court posture, rent-regulation exposure) come from Fort Collins eviction risk as a whole. Only the economic and supply signals are measured inside this tract.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

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.
