Analysis
What drives eviction risk in North Freedom
about one in five of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Sauk County average of 31.8%. The main counterweight is economic stress at 2.3/10. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Running cool, state political climate reads 2.9/10. The filing record is not thin: 77 evictions over 14 years of observation.
Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 3/10. Against the Sauk County average of 3.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points.
Filings peaked in 2010 at 3.9% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.1/10.
Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $84,951, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
