Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brookfield
Pulling hardest the other way is tenant-organizing strength at 1.2/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Average gross rent is $791, 17% below the St. Stephens average. Court records carry 633 eviction filings across 16 observed years. Filings peaked in 2015 at 17.6% of renter households.
In a typical year about 9.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #45,786 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
At 23% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.6/10.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
