Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Menasha
Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $686, 24% below the Menasha average. It sits 1.4 points above the Winnebago County average of 4.0.
SNAP participation runs 27.3% against 15.2% nationally. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.5/10. The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Court records carry 198 eviction filings across 12 observed years. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.9/10.
The worst year on record was 2017, when 3.8% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Social vulnerability reads 7.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
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.
