What drives eviction risk in University East
Annualized rent equals 60% of average household income of $25,994, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. Severe burden reaches 34%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
The poverty rate is 65%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.4/10. 76% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
Average gross rent is $1,295, 28% above the La Crosse average. It sits 1.6 points above the La Crosse County average of 4.2.
Food insecurity runs 31.7% against 17.8% nationally. Disability prevalence runs 44.7% against 31.5% nationally.
Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.3/10. Court records carry 9 eviction filings across 5 observed years.
