Calhoun maps to a single census tract in New Berlin, WI and houses 4,886 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
Against a New Berlin baseline of 26.1%, 34% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 15% 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. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.8/10.
The filing record is not thin: 37 evictions logged in this tract. 4.0% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Food insecurity affects 8.2% of adults, 9.6 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 2.6% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 1.7% in 2013 against a 2.6% peak.
That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in New Berlin. The closest comparables inside the same city are Wildcat Creek Heights and Orchard Hills. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,369, close to the New Berlin average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $75,160.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
