What drives eviction risk in East Buckeye
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.8/10. Against Dane County at 41.3%, 51% of renters here are cost-burdened. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10.
On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.6/10. Court records carry 654 eviction filings across 13 observed years.
Food insecurity runs 9.8% against 17.8% nationally. The worst year on record was 2012, when 26.6% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 13.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #45,786 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 11% 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.
Social vulnerability reads 2.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $97,542, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
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.
