Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Scottish Highlands

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.9/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.9/10. Against the Dane County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points.

Food insecurity runs 7.0% against 17.8% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,247, 12% below the Sun Prairie average.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $110,673, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
