Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sunset Village

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,899, 34% above the Madison average. The voucher gap is 29.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10. Running hot, supply constraint reads 7.9/10. SNAP participation runs 4.1% against 15.2% nationally.

It sits 1.0 points below the Dane County average of 4.2. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 16% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.3/10. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $144,107, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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