Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Burlington

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.8/10. Average gross rent is $1,292, 29% above the Burlington average. The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.5/10. SNAP participation runs 7.4% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Walworth County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 6% 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.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.2/10. Against average income of $101,250, annual rent is just 15%. Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, 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.
