Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Big Falls

18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2/10. The voucher gap is 21.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

At $1,136 a month, rents run 22% over what the rest of Big Falls commands. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 7.8/10.

41% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Waupaca County average of 34.2%. Court records carry 17 eviction filings across 12 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2003, when 1.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 25% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 11% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. It tracks the Waupaca County average of 3.7 closely.

Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $75,402.

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