Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Moraine Highland

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.6/10. At $1,795 a month, rents run 25% over what the rest of Middleton commands.

The voucher gap is 21.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Food insecurity runs 5.5% against 17.8% nationally.

On the high side, local political climate reads 7.9/10. It sits 1.1 points below the Dane County average of 4.2. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

That is riskier than roughly 22% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.6/10. Against average income of $158,553, annual rent is just 14%.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
