Brighton Ridge maps to a single census tract in Mequon, WI and houses 4,602 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10.
The voucher gap is 142.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $3,042, 41% above the Mequon average of $2,157. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.
24% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, below the Mequon rate of 31.6%. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 5.7% of adults, 12.1 points below the national rate. Court records for this tract carry 14 eviction filings.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.8/10. Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 1.4% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 1.2% in 2014 against a 1.4% peak.
That places it #2 of 4 neighborhoods in Mequon. Only 5% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
