Wildcat Creek Heights spans 2 census tracts of New Berlin, WI and houses 6,409 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, Lower tier. The voucher gap is 41.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. 29% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
On the high side is supply constraint at 8.3/10. At $1,782 a month, rents sit 25% over what the rest of New Berlin commands.
The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.8/10. 4.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #2 of 4 neighborhoods in New Berlin.
Against average income of $107,822, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.8 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 3.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
