Arrowhead Park Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 7,936 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.8/10 · range 3.4–4.6

Arrowhead Park is a 2-tract neighborhood of Appleton, WI, population 7,936. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.6/10.

28% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.4 to 4.6, a 1.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

The filing record is not thin: 46 evictions logged in this tract. The severe-burden share is 8%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 1.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.6% in 2017, is well off that peak.

Among the 15 mapped neighborhoods of Appleton, it ranks #12 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Bell Heights and Huntley Houses.

Against average income of $72,935, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent runs $1,054, close to the Appleton average. 53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
