Junction Ridge maps to a single census tract in Madison, WI and houses 5,625 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
Against a Madison baseline of 30.1%, 23% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. At $1,683 a month, rents sit 19% over what the rest of Madison commands.
Food insecurity affects 6.0% of adults, 11.8 points below the national rate. 2.8% 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. The voucher gap is 14.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. That places it #57 of 61 neighborhoods in Madison. The closest comparables inside the same city are Westmorland and The Willows.
Against average income of $112,361, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
