Alta Loma Circle takes in 2 census tracts of Mequon, WI and houses 10,331 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The voucher gap is 55.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. On the high side is supply constraint at 8.3/10. 17% 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.
Cost burden runs 38% against 31.6% citywide, putting Alta Loma Circle 6.1% over its own city. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Court records carry 134 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10. SNAP participation is 6.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 2.3% of renter households. At $1,948 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Mequon commands.
The most recent observed rate, 0.4% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Mequon. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.8 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
With little internal variation, 3.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
