Fox Bluff is a one-tract neighborhood of Middleton, WI and houses 5,786 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.3/10. 28% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 7.0% of adults, 10.8 points below the national rate. At $1,241 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Middleton commands. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.

That places it #2 of 5 neighborhoods in Middleton. For a like-for-like read, Hubbard Avenue Addition and Moraine Highland score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
