Eastside Hill is a one-tract neighborhood of Eau Claire, WI and houses 5,465 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for about a quarter of renter households.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.1/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 182 evictions logged in this tract. At $894 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Eau Claire commands.
8% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 2.1% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.0% of adults, 8.8 points below the national rate.
Recent filings have not receded much: 1.9% in 2017 against a 2.1% peak. That places it #7 of 12 neighborhoods in Eau Claire. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
