Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ridge Crest

34% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.4/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.9/10.

At $1,732 a month, rents run 22% over what the rest of Sun Prairie commands. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.9/10. It sits 1.2 points below the Dane County average of 4.2.

Food insecurity runs 7.2% against 17.8% nationally. The voucher gap is 17.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 14% 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 3.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $124,779, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
