Grant is a one-tract neighborhood of Wausau, WI and houses 3,302 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs about half against 28.3% citywide, putting Grant 20.0% over its own city.
25% 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. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 124 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 5.5% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.7% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #4 of 9 neighborhoods in Wausau.
Only 27% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Franklin Heights and Riverlife. Average gross rent runs $1,050, close to the Wausau average.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $60,000.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
