Westhaven Trails is a one-tract neighborhood of Madison, WI and houses 7,075 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.6/10.
17% 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. 31% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Court records for this tract carry 317 eviction filings.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Food insecurity affects 8.5% of adults, 9.3 points below the national rate.
Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 4.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.4% in 2017, is well off that peak.
That places it #47 of 61 neighborhoods in Madison. Against average income of $106,173, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,438, close to the Madison average. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
