Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Baraboo
Average gross rent is $1,194, 27% above the Baraboo average. 23% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Sauk County average of 31.8%. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.6/10.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.2/10. Severe burden reaches 8%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 10.3% against 17.8% nationally.
That is riskier than roughly 29% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $82,414, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Sauk County average of 3.7 closely.
