Carriage Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Sun Prairie, WI and houses 7,726 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Sun Prairie rate of 28.6%. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10.
Average gross rent is $1,105, 22% below the Sun Prairie average of $1,419. The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 165 evictions logged in this tract. Food insecurity affects 7.6% of adults, 10.2 points below the national rate.
4.0% 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. The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 3.1% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.2% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #4 of 7 neighborhoods in Sun Prairie. Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Royal Oaks and Sunburst.
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.
