Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Colony Oaks

What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 7.1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Appleton eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Outagamie County average of 3.5 and below the Wisconsin statewide average of 4.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 52nd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 143 eviction filings here over 8 tracked years, with about 3.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 4.5% of renter households in 2008.

For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
