Middle Village Eviction Risk: Moderate

4 census tracts · pop 13,971 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.1/10 · range 4.7–5.4

Middle Village takes in 4 census tracts of Oshkosh, WI and houses 13,971 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.1/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 26.7% citywide, putting Middle Village 17.3% over its own city.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10. The poverty rate is 35%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10. Court records carry 326 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.

SNAP participation is 24.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 8.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.8% in 2017, is well off that peak.

Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Oshkosh, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Woodland Park and Menominee South.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
