Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Menasha
Against Winnebago County at 38.0%, 49% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.5/10.
14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 222 evictions over 12 years of observation.
Running cool, state political climate reads 2.9/10. The worst year on record was 2008, when 5.2% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 3.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 4.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Against average income of $65,119, annual rent is just 16%. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Winnebago County average of 4.0 closely.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
