What drives eviction risk in Wausau

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2/10. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the national scale it lands near the 46th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.5/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Marathon County average of 3.8 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,042, close to the Wausau average. Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $68,889.
