Dharma verdict
78–88. Undervalued, at the margin.
Recommendation: watch. A gap of +9 — residual sourced suppression, real but modest. Monitor the conditions that would widen or close it. (Gap +9)
What's holding the 74 down
Incumbent Black population displacement
+3.9
Welton Street Black business corridor loss / RiNo rebranding
+2.4
Rent-burden and displacement risk on remaining incumbent households
+1.4
Community trust/cohesion erosion from displacement pressure
+0.9

Capital × Community Trust

Trust is a core axis of this thesis, not a footnote. High capital with low trust is exactly the pattern the Suppression Weight is built to surface — the Dharma Zone is where capital and trust move together.
LATENTlow capital · high trust
Trust is high but capital hasn’t arrived yet — the upside the thesis chases.
DHARMA ZONEhigh capital · high trust
Capital and community trust move together — the healthy target state.
SUPPRESSEDlow capital · low trust
Both capital and trust are held down — the starting condition suppression creates.
EXTRACTIVEhigh capital · low trust
Money is flowing in but the community doesn’t trust it — value is pulled out, not built.
v1 placeholder calibration (rho=0.80, ceiling=100). No headlineBand pinned (no external pitch value supplied); the engine derives the band from mean confidence. cc=74 is grounded in Census ACS estimates for Five Points/RiNo, which show median gross rent and median home value growth among the fastest of any Denver neighborhood over the past two decades — the market has (over-)capitalized the neighborhood following RiNo-branded redevelopment, not a suppression showcase. quadrant.capital/trust are a qualitative placement, refine with the content owner: capital (80) reflects Five Points/RiNo's now-high market position; trust (36) reflects the sourced incumbent Black-community displacement, Welton Street corridor loss/rebranding, rent-burden/displacement-risk, and cohesion-erosion factors above, placing Five Points in the high-capital/low-trust EXTRACTIVE quadrant outside the Dharma Zone. Two candidate suppression-factor domains were researched and dropped under the kill rule as near-baseline for a now-gentrified market (environmental burden/food access, credit denial-rate gaps), and two more as structurally inverted (under-captured reach/capital, data undercount) — see docs/dharma-lens-v2/places/five-points-denver.md for the full kill-rule notes. Over-representation shown as low latent gap + extractive quadrant; the engine does not model LV<CC (over-valuation).
