Windsor Hill Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 13,124 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Windsor Hill spans 2 census tracts of DeForest, WI and houses 13,124 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.6/10.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 126 evictions logged in this tract. Cost burden runs 29% against 24.6% citywide, putting Windsor Hill 4.4% over its own city.

The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 3.0% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.2% of adults, 8.6 points below the national rate.

At $1,320 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of DeForest commands. The most recent observed rate, 1.5% in 2017, is well off that peak. Only 25% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Against average income of $112,395, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
