What drives eviction risk in April Hills
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. At $1,821 a month, rents run 29% over what the rest of Madison commands.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10. The voucher gap is 23.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.6/10.
Food insecurity runs 7.3% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 1.0 points below the Dane County average of 4.2.
Court records carry 106 eviction filings across 11 observed years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2007 at 8.1% of renter households.
In a typical year about 5.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 2.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
