Dudgeon-Monroe Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,615 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.6/10 · range 3.6–3.6

Dudgeon-Monroe is a one-tract neighborhood of Madison, WI, population 2,615. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.6/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.9/10.

Against a Madison baseline of 30.1%, 23% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Average gross rent is $1,716, 21% above the Madison average of $1,413. The voucher gap is 16.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 15 evictions logged in this tract.

SNAP participation is 5.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.

The worst year on record was 2001, when filings touched 1.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.4% in 2016, is well off that peak.

Among the 61 mapped neighborhoods of Madison, it ranks #52 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Glacier Ridge and Woodland Hills score within a fraction of it.

Against average income of $124,167, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
