Swan Creek of Nine Springs Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,025 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5/10 · range 5–5

Swan Creek of Nine Springs is a one-tract neighborhood of Fitchburg, WI, population 4,025. The Eviction Risk Score is 5/10, in the Moderate tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Fitchburg rate of 29.9%.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Jamestown and Highlands of Seminole. Average gross rent runs $1,354, close to the Fitchburg average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $79,214.

60% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
