Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Renaissance on the Park
69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8/10. 50% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Dane County average of 41.3%.
16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,105, 22% below the Madison average.
On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.6/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.5/10.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,561 filings here across 13 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2008, when 16.8% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 8.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
