Old Hickory is a one-tract neighborhood of West Bend, WI, population 2,898. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. 26% 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.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.5/10. Against a West Bend baseline of 30.3%, 37% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10.
Food insecurity affects 9.2% of adults, 8.6 points below the national rate. At 27% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $93,874, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,097, close to the West Bend average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
