Valley View Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Greenfield, WI and houses 4,084 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.8/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 41% 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.
Cost burden runs 58% against 27.6% citywide, putting Valley View Heights 30.1% over its own city. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10.
At $1,402 a month, rents sit 20% over what the rest of Greenfield commands. Court records for this tract carry 150 eviction filings. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10.
The voucher gap is 11.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 2.3% of renter households. Running cool is economic stress, at 3/10.
The most recent observed rate, 1.1% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #2 of 7 neighborhoods in Greenfield. The closest comparables inside the same city are West Allis Heights and Layton Heights.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $68,575. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
