Scenic Ridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Verona, WI, population 7,226. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Verona rate of 26.4%.
Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. Food insecurity affects 6.0% of adults, 11.8 points below the national rate.
Court records for this tract carry 164 eviction filings. Average gross rent is $1,371, 15% below the Verona average of $1,605.
Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 7.0% of renter households. 4.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The most recent observed rate, 1.6% in 2017, is well off that peak.
Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
