· range 3.6–4.1
Erb Park spans 2 census tracts of Appleton, WI and houses 8,042 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Appleton baseline of 25.4%, 52% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.3/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Court records carry 115 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 3.8% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.7% of adults, 8.1 points below the national rate. The most recent observed rate, 1.2% in 2017, is well off that peak.
Among the 15 mapped neighborhoods of Appleton, it ranks #10 by risk, the lower third. Against average income of $70,033, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.5 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 3.9/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
