Bridge-Lakepoint Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 5,413 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6

Bridge-Lakepoint maps to a single census tract in Madison, WI, population 5,413. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, Elevated tier. 21% 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.

Average gross rent is $1,105, 22% below the Madison average of $1,413. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 2.5/10.

Cost burden runs 36% against 30.1% citywide, putting Bridge-Lakepoint 6.2% over its own city. The filing record is not thin: 1,572 evictions logged in this tract.

The poverty rate is 16%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 15.4% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 6.5% in 2017, is well off that peak. Among the 61 mapped neighborhoods of Madison, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Mendota Hills and Hiestand score within a fraction of it.

Against average income of $66,628, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion. 60% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
