Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sharon
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.1/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
The filing record is not thin: 156 evictions over 9 years of observation. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.9/10.
Filings peaked in 2017 at 4.3% of renter households. At $978 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Sharon commands.
In a typical year about 3.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 42nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $72,800, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Walworth County average of 3.8 closely.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
