The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.2/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 742 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 9.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.3% in 2017, is well off that peak. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Sun Prairie, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third.

62% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
