Sherman Village is a one-tract neighborhood of Madison, WI and houses 3,379 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 90% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Madison rate of 30.1%.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,658, 17% above the Madison average of $1,413. Court records for this tract carry 77 eviction filings.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. The voucher gap is 12.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 17.9% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 0.6% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #31 of 61 neighborhoods in Madison.
Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Prairie Hills and Greater Sandburg.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $88,603.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 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.
