Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Goosetown

75% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the La Crosse County average of 38.5%. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 67%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. This is renter territory: 100% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 48% of average household income of $23,582, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.4/10. SNAP participation runs 34.1% against 15.2% nationally. Against the La Crosse County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points.

Food insecurity runs 28.0% against 17.8% nationally. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.3/10.

Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
