Castle Creek Eviction Risk: Lower

Cost burden runs 35% against 24.3% citywide, putting Castle Creek 10.4% over its own city. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Court records for this tract carry 122 eviction filings.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10. 3.8% 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.

The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 4.3% of renter households. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10.

SNAP participation is 6.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The most recent observed rate, 0.4% in 2017, is well off that peak.

For a like-for-like read, Centennial Heights and Sixmile Creek score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 15% 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.

Average gross rent runs $1,283, close to the Waunakee average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
