Hidden Valley Lake maps to a single census tract in Cedarburg, WI, population 5,906. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 52%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Cost burden runs 70% against 25.8% citywide, putting Hidden Valley Lake 44.4% over its own city. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.2/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.6/10. The filing record is not thin: 13 evictions logged in this tract. 3.3% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Average gross rent is $1,248, 12% above the Cedarburg average of $1,116. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 1.9% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 0.5% in 2017, is well off that peak. At 12% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $125,719, annual rent is only 12%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
