Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Junction Ridge

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10. Food insecurity runs 6.0% against 17.8% nationally.

At $1,683 a month, rents run 19% over what the rest of Madison commands. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.6/10.

SNAP participation runs 4.8% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 0.9 points below the Dane County average of 4.2. The voucher gap is 14.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the national scale it lands near the 27th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $112,361, annual rent is just 18%. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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