Somers Center West maps to a single census tract in Somers, WI, population 5,970. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, Lower tier. Against a Somers baseline of 30.7%, 48% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
31% 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. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.8/10.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.2/10. The filing record is not thin: 147 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 1.6% of renter households. The voucher gap is 11.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Average gross rent is $1,606, 10% above the Somers average of $1,455. Recent filings have not receded much: 1.8% in 2017 against a 1.6% peak.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $78,313. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 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.
