Dellwood Street Eviction Risk: Lower

3 census tracts · pop 13,205 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.9/10 · range 3–5

Dellwood Street spans 3 census tracts of Appleton, WI, population 13,205. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. about a quarter of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.8/10. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5, a 2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Court records carry 528 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.

On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10. 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 2017 at 4.2% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 1.7% in 2018, is well off that peak. Among the 15 mapped neighborhoods of Appleton, it ranks #10 by risk, the lower third. Against average income of $86,073, annual rent is only 15%, 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 $1,072, close to the Appleton average. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
