Against the Dane County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points. On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10.

Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.6/10. Court records carry 369 eviction filings across 13 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2009, when 12.7% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Madison. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 6.8% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.9/10.
