· range 4.5–4.5
Northridge maps to a single census tract in Chippewa Falls, WI and houses 5,401 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 43% against 26.6% citywide, putting Northridge 16.2% over its own city.
29% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 364 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 5.3% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 4.6% in 2017 against a 5.3% peak. At $849 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Chippewa Falls commands.
Against average income of $67,551, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
