Schenk-Atwood-Starkweather-Yahara maps to a single census tract in Madison, WI, population 6,234. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Madison baseline of 30.1%, 36% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
14% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.
The filing record is not thin: 563 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 6.1% of renter households.
Food insecurity affects 9.8% of adults, 8.0 points below the national rate. The most recent observed rate, 1.2% in 2017, is well off that peak.
That places it #24 of 61 neighborhoods in Madison. For a like-for-like read, Waunona and Emerson East score within a fraction of it.
Average gross rent runs $1,444, close to the Madison average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $81,211. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
