Sunburst is a one-tract neighborhood of Sun Prairie, WI and houses 7,410 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
18% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. At $1,641 a month, rents sit 16% over what the rest of Sun Prairie commands.
33% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Sun Prairie rate of 28.6%. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 11.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
5.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #5 of 7 neighborhoods in Sun Prairie. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
