Waterfront North Eviction Risk: Moderate , La Crosse

29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 92% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Cost burden runs 52% here against 38.5% across La Crosse County. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $37,019, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Against the La Crosse County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points.

The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.3/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 216 filings here across 7 tracked years.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.9/10. Filings peaked in 2010 at 4.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.2% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 7.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
