Mount Washington Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 5,344 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.2/10 · range 4.2–4.2

Mount Washington maps to a single census tract in Eau Claire, WI and houses 5,344 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 38% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Eau Claire rate of 25.1%.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10.

Average gross rent is $866, 17% below the Eau Claire average of $1,045. The filing record is not thin: 346 evictions logged in this tract. Severe burden reaches 11%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 4.4% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.5% of adults, 8.3 points below the national rate. The most recent observed rate, 2.6% in 2017, is well off that peak.

Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Eau Claire, it ranks #6 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Eastside Hill and Cannery District.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
