Indian Hills maps to a single census tract in Madison, WI, population 3,705. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 43% against 30.1% citywide, putting Indian Hills 12.8% over its own city.
89% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2.9/10.
Average gross rent is $1,170, 17% below the Madison average of $1,413. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.
Among the 61 mapped neighborhoods of Madison, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $49,393.
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.
