Schenk-Atwood-Starkweather-Yahara Eviction Risk: Moderate , Madison

Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.6/10. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

It sits 1.2 points above the Dane County average of 4.2. 36% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Dane County average of 41.3%.

The filing record is not thin: 563 evictions over 13 years of observation. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.9/10. Food insecurity runs 9.8% against 17.8% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2012, when 6.1% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 3.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.

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