Ridge Crest Eviction Risk: Lower

34% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.4/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10.

At $1,732 a month, rents sit 22% over what the rest of Sun Prairie commands. The voucher gap is 17.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. 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. SNAP participation is 6.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Sun Prairie, it ranks #5 by risk, the lower third. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $124,779, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
