Hiestand maps to a single census tract in Madison, WI and houses 3,619 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Madison rate of 30.1%.
Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.
Court records for this tract carry 580 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 6.6% of renter households. At $1,297 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Madison commands.
The most recent observed rate, 2.8% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 61 neighborhoods in Madison.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Brentwood Village and The Yards. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $63,802.
63% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
