Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 2.2% of renter households. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
Average gross rent is $1,197, 10% below the Waunakee average of $1,324. The most recent observed rate, 0.7% in 2017, is well off that peak.
At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
