Heritage Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

19% 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. Against a Madison baseline of 30.1%, 35% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Court records for this tract carry 391 eviction filings. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. 3.9% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Food insecurity affects 7.7% of adults, 10.1 points below the national rate. At $1,234 a month, rents sit 13% under what the rest of Madison commands.

Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 14.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 8.0% in 2017, is well off that peak.

That places it #50 of 61 neighborhoods in Madison. At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.8/10 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.
