Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lake Wisconsin
At $1,134 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of Lake Wisconsin commands. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.5/10.
Food insecurity runs 7.3% against 17.8% nationally. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.6/10. Court records carry 37 eviction filings across 13 observed years.
8% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the Columbia County average of 3.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Filings peaked in 2010 at 2.4% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
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.
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.
