Newberry Heights takes in 2 census tracts of Madison, WI, population 6,604. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.6/10.
67% 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 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
36% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Madison rate of 30.1%. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Food insecurity affects 9.2% of adults, 8.6 points below the national rate.
Among the 61 mapped neighborhoods of Madison, it ranks #38 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Maple-Prairie and Bay Creek. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.5 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $1,380, close to the Madison average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $80,635.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
