Civic is a one-tract neighborhood of New Berlin, WI and houses 6,305 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 27% of renter households. The voucher gap is 20.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.8/10. Court records for this tract carry 7 eviction filings. 3.5% 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 7.3% of adults, 10.5 points below the national rate. The severe-burden share is 9%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
On the high side is supply constraint at 7.1/10. Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 1.6% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 0.2% in 2013, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $1,520, 7% above the New Berlin average of $1,426. That places it #4 of 4 neighborhoods in New Berlin.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
