Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Menasha
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.5/10.
13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Court records carry 84 eviction filings across 12 observed years. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.9/10.
Food insecurity runs 10.0% against 17.8% nationally. Average gross rent is $992, 10% above the Menasha average.
The worst year on record was 2007, when 5.3% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
