Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Stoughton
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.1/10.
Average gross rent is $898, 22% below the Stoughton average. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.9/10. Food insecurity runs 6.5% against 17.8% nationally.
It sits 1.2 points below the Dane County average of 4.2. The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Court records carry 36 eviction filings across 12 observed years.
Housing insecurity runs 6.1% against 14.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2013 at 6.9% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.5% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 8% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Against average income of $110,819, annual rent is just 10%.
