Towerview maps to a single census tract in Racine, WI, population 5,253. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Racine baseline of 31.7%, 64% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
34% 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. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 9.6/10. The poverty rate is 38%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
SNAP participation is 38.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Food insecurity affects 33.1% of adults, 15.3 points above the national rate. Court records for this tract carry 1,468 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 12.8% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 8.3% in 2017 against a 12.8% peak. That places it #1 of 5 neighborhoods in Racine. For a like-for-like read, Downtown and Lincoln-King score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
