Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lake St. Croix Beach
54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Washington County average of 44.0%. Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.7/10. Food insecurity runs 7.8% against 17.8% nationally.
The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The filing record is not thin: 13 evictions over 3 years of observation.
On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 3/10. Housing insecurity runs 6.7% against 14.2% nationally.
Filings peaked in 2010 at 4.8% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #50,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Only 10% 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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
