Analysis

SNAP participation runs 6.5% against 15.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 28 filings here across 12 tracked years.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 3.1/10. It sits 0.7 points below the Sheboygan County average of 3.7.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 1.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $96,488, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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