State-Langdon Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 6,069 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6

State-Langdon is a one-tract neighborhood of Madison, WI, population 6,069. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. The severe-burden share is 58%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Set annual rent against average household income of $22,642 and the ratio lands at 69%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Against a Madison baseline of 30.1%, 70% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 62%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. This is a renter market: 98% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

SNAP participation is 33.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 30.0% of adults, 12.2 points above the national rate. The filing record is not thin: 519 evictions logged in this tract.

Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 3.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.0% in 2017, is well off that peak.

At $1,308 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Madison commands. That places it #1 of 61 neighborhoods in Madison.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
