Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Redtail Ridge

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.9/10.

SNAP participation runs 3.9% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 1.1 points below the Dane County average of 4.2. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

That is riskier than roughly 22% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 1.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 9% of average household income of $190,476, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 0%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 40% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
