The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10. The severe-burden share is 16%.

Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of Wausau, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third. At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $1,024, close to the Wausau average.
One tract means one number: 4.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
