Brentwood Village maps to a single census tract in Madison, WI and houses 4,256 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Madison baseline of 30.1%, 58% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
30% 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. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. Average gross rent is $1,121, 21% below the Madison average of $1,413.
The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 1,093 evictions logged in this tract. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.
The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 12.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 6.2% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 61 neighborhoods in Madison.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Mendota Hills and Hiestand. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $57,558. 53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 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.
