Water Street Historic District Eviction Risk: Moderate , Eau Claire

The poverty rate is 48%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10.

75% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Cost burden runs 43% here against 32.8% across Eau Claire County. Average gross rent is $747, 29% below the Eau Claire average.

Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.5/10. Against the Eau Claire County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

SNAP participation runs 28.2% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 219 evictions over 10 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2014 at 1.9% of renter households.

In a typical year about 1.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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.
