Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Williams Bay
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 2.1/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.2/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.5/10.
Food insecurity runs 8.9% against 17.8% nationally. Court records carry 43 eviction filings across 9 observed years. The worst year on record was 2009, when 3.3% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 1.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $63,634, 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.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
