University East maps to a single census tract in La Crosse, WI, population 5,241. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Set annual rent against average household income of $25,994 and the ratio lands at 60%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Against a La Crosse baseline of 28.9%, 65% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.
The poverty rate is 65%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The severe-burden share is 34%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. SNAP participation is 38.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
This is a renter market: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. At $1,295 a month, rents sit 28% over what the rest of La Crosse commands.
Disability prevalence reaches 44.7% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Court records for this tract carry 9 eviction filings. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.3/10.
The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 0.6% of renter households. That places it #1 of 12 neighborhoods in La Crosse.
One tract means one number: 5.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
