Analysis

What drives eviction risk in 7th Street Waterfront

The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 9.4/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from La Crosse eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the La Crosse County average of 4.9 and above the Wisconsin statewide average of 4.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 12.1% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 7.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 308 eviction filings here over 7 tracked years, with about 3.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 4.6% of renter households in 2009.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
