Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Northport
23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.8/10.
On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.4/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 34 filings here across 14 tracked years. The voucher gap is 12.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Against the Waupaca County average of 3.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. Filings peaked in 2018 at 3.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.4% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 9% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.3/10.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
