North Side Hill Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,487 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.2/10 · range 5.2–5.2

North Side Hill maps to a single census tract in Eau Claire, WI and houses 4,487 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 42% against 25.1% citywide, putting North Side Hill 16.8% over its own city.

Severe burden reaches 33%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. At $811 a month, rents sit 22% under what the rest of Eau Claire commands.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 334 evictions logged in this tract.

The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 4.1% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 2.1% in 2017, is well off that peak. Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Eau Claire, it ranks #4 by risk, the upper third.

Against average income of $55,294, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. 51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 5.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
