On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $14,699, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. It sits 1.0 points above the El Paso County average of 3.9.

Against El Paso County at 45.7%, roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened. The filing record is not thin: 9 evictions over 1 years of observation.
