Centennial Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Waunakee, WI and houses 6,529 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
Food insecurity affects 6.6% of adults, 11.2 points below the national rate. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10.
Against a Waunakee baseline of 24.3%, 20% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Severe burden reaches 8%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
SNAP participation is 6.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Sixmile Creek and Castle Creek score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 12% 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 $1,328, close to the Waunakee average.
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.
