Hintgen spans 2 census tracts of La Crosse, WI and houses 8,449 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, Moderate tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.8/10. 11% 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. Court records carry 122 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.3/10. 25% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, marginally below the La Crosse rate of 28.9%. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 2.5% of renter households.
Food insecurity affects 9.7% of adults, 8.1 points below the national rate. That places it #11 of 12 neighborhoods in La Crosse.
Judgments average 0.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.6 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
With little internal variation, 4.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
