Oakbridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Madison, WI and houses 5,643 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.8/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
32% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Court records for this tract carry 399 eviction filings.
The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. At $1,208 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Madison commands. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 3.6% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.0% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #19 of 61 neighborhoods in Madison.
The closest comparables inside the same city are James Madison Park and Sherman Terrace. Against average income of $78,059, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
