West Bend Eviction Risk: Lower

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.1/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.8/10.

The filing record is not thin: 105 evictions over 18 years of observation. Food insecurity runs 9.6% against 17.8% nationally.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.9/10. Severe burden reaches 8%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

At $1,177 a month, rents run 9% over what the rest of West Bend commands. The worst year on record was 2012, when 6.2% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 3.4% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #57,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 7% 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 2/10. Against average income of $102,780, annual rent is just 14%.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
