About eviction risk in Weston, WI

Weston, WI has an eviction risk score of 4.4 out of 10, placing it in the moderate-risk tier for landlords operating in Marathon County and the state of Wisconsin. The score combines local political climate, court disposition patterns, cost-of-eviction estimates, tenant organizing strength, and the likelihood of new tenant-protective legislation in the next legislative cycle.

Census ACS 2023 5-year estimates show median gross rent as a percentage of household income is 25.8% — a core driver of eviction filings, because households above 30% of income on rent are statistically more likely to miss a payment after any income shock. Median gross rent in Weston is $1,024/month. About 36.6% of occupied units here are renter-occupied.

Economic stress: poverty rate 7.7%, unemployment 2.9%. Higher values correlate with higher eviction filing rates and longer court timelines.
