Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Historic Downtown Burlington
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 8.8/10. 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 Burlington, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Racine County average of 4.9 and above the Wisconsin statewide average of 4.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 141 eviction filings here over 11 tracked years, with about 2.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 3.7% of renter households in 2009.
In CDC survey modeling, about 7.6% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 4.2% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
