Westview Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Sun Prairie, WI and houses 4,011 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Sun Prairie rate of 28.6%.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10. The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. At $1,172 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Sun Prairie commands. Court records for this tract carry 721 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 8.2% of renter households. Running cool is supply constraint, at 3/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 7.2% in 2017 against a 8.2% peak.
That places it #1 of 7 neighborhoods in Sun Prairie. Against average income of $71,042, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.9/10 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.
