Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Historic Central

Pulling hardest the other way is court filing pressure at 0.9/10. This is renter territory: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

It sits 1.2 points above the Outagamie County average of 3.9. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.7/10. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

At $850 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Appleton commands. The filing record is not thin: 142 evictions over 8 years of observation.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.9/10. Filings peaked in 2012 at 3.4% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.7% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.4/10. Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $43,921.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
