Historic Starin Park takes in 2 census tracts of Whitewater, WI and houses 7,906 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.3/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 61% against 30.6% citywide, putting Historic Starin Park 30.3% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 36%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. The poverty rate is 40%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8.3/10. Running hot is economic stress at 8.1/10.
SNAP participation is 26.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Court records carry 301 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 4.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.5% in 2017, is well off that peak. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Average gross rent runs $1,044, close to the Whitewater average. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $44,852.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
