Analysis
What drives eviction risk in April Hills
On the high side, local political climate reads 7.9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.6/10.
The severe-burden share is 12%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Food insecurity runs 8.2% against 17.8% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Of its three components the housing type and transport 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.
Rent takes 30% or more of income for 44% of renters. It tracks the Dane County average of 4.2 closely.
Average gross rent is $1,366, close to the McFarland average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $75,919.
