Sunset Village maps to a single census tract in Madison, WI and houses 2,242 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 11% against 30.1% citywide, putting Sunset Village 19.6% under its own city.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,899, 34% above the Madison average of $1,413.
The voucher gap is 29.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Running hot is supply constraint at 7.9/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 4.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Disability prevalence reaches 19.5% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. That places it #58 of 61 neighborhoods in Madison.
Only 16% 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. Against average income of $144,107, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 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.
