Middleton Eviction Risk: Lower

27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

Running hot, local political climate reads 7.9/10. At $1,736 a month, rents run 21% over what the rest of Middleton commands. The voucher gap is 17.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

It sits 1.0 points below the Dane County average of 4.2. Cost burden runs 36% here against 41.3% across Dane County. Housing insecurity runs 6.1% against 14.2% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.4/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
