Colony Oaks takes in 5 census tracts of Appleton, WI and houses 22,004 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 2/10.
Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 3.5 to 4.9. A 1.4-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.6/10.
14% 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. Court records carry 436 eviction filings across its 5 observed tracts.
29% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, a little above the Appleton rate of 25.4%. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 8.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.2% in 2017, is well off that peak.
That places it #7 of 15 neighborhoods in Appleton. The closest comparables inside the same city are Roselawn and Dellwood Street. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Average gross rent runs $970, close to the Appleton average.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.4 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.
