Layton Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Greenfield, WI, population 3,901. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.7/10, placing it in the Lower tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10.
This is a renter market: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 12% 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. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.7/10.
The filing record is not thin: 153 evictions logged in this tract. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 2.9% of renter households. 24% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, marginally below the Greenfield rate of 27.6%.
The most recent observed rate, 1.3% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #4 of 7 neighborhoods in Greenfield.
Average gross rent runs $1,112, close to the Greenfield average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $66,689.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
