East Buckeye maps to a single census tract in Madison, WI and houses 6,062 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Madison baseline of 30.1%, 51% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Court records for this tract carry 654 eviction filings.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 26.6% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.8% of adults, 8.0 points below the national rate.
The most recent observed rate, 9.6% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #45 of 61 neighborhoods in Madison.
At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Applewood Hill and Summit Ridge score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $1,426, close to the Madison average.
One tract means one number: 4.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
