Analysis

What drives eviction risk in South Charleswood

28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.2/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10. Food insecurity runs 6.9% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 5.7% against 14.2% nationally.

The voucher gap is 12.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 19% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.6/10.

Against average income of $101,250, annual rent is just 13%. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Cass County average of 3.5 closely.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
