Madison Eviction Risk: Lower

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.1/10.

On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10. Food insecurity runs 7.9% against 17.8% nationally. Court records carry 256 eviction filings across 13 observed years.

The voucher gap is 15.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Housing insecurity runs 7.1% against 14.2% nationally. Against the Madison County average of 3.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points.

The worst year on record was 2015, when 7.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 4.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
