Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Poynette
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 5.9/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Poynette, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Columbia County average of 4.1 and below the Wisconsin statewide average of 4.6. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 102 eviction filings here over 15 tracked years, with about 1.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 3.0% of renter households in 2010.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 10th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
