Prairie Creek Ridge maps to a single census tract in Oconomowoc, WI and houses 6,735 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.5/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.2/10.
19% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 29 evictions logged in this tract.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 3.9% 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.
38% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, slightly above the Oconomowoc rate of 33.8%. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 3.4% of renter households.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.5% in 2013 against a 3.4% peak.
Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,375, close to the Oconomowoc average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
