Indian Hills Eviction Risk: Elevated , Madison

Against the Dane County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8/10.

Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.6/10.

At $1,170 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Madison commands. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.9/10. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Madison. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 6.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
