S Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 9,829 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

S takes in 2 census tracts of Greendale, WI and houses 9,829 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.1/10.

20% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. Court records carry 237 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10. 4.0% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Against a Greendale baseline of 30.4%, roughly one in three of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Food insecurity affects 8.8% of adults, 9.0 points below the national rate. The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 5.5% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,121, 10% below the Greendale average of $1,252.

The most recent observed rate, 1.4% in 2017, is well off that peak. At 26% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

For a like-for-like read, G and D score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
