Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Brighton Ridge

The voucher gap is 142.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $3,042, 41% above the Mequon average.

24% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Ozaukee County average of 37.1%. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.9/10. Housing insecurity runs 5.3% against 14.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 14 evictions over 8 years of observation.

Adults with no health insurance runs 4.0% against 11.3% nationally. Against the Ozaukee County average of 3.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. The worst year on record was 2007, when 1.4% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 1.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 5% 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
