Westmorland maps to a single census tract in Madison, WI and houses 3,462 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.2/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $1,814, 28% above the Madison average of $1,413. The voucher gap is 23.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Cost burden runs about a quarter against 30.1% citywide, putting Westmorland 6.0% under its own city. Running hot is supply constraint at 7.3/10. 2.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
SNAP participation is 3.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 15 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 3.9% of renter households. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.
The most recent observed rate, 0.4% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 61 mapped neighborhoods of Madison, it ranks #58 by risk, the lower third.
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.
