Eau Claire Eviction Risk: Lower

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.3/10. The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.4/10.

The filing record is not thin: 126 evictions over 14 years of observation. Food insecurity runs 10.3% against 17.8% nationally. The worst year on record was 2007, when 6.5% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 3.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #50,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $82,220, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. 37% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

It tracks the Chippewa County average of 3.7 closely.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
