Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Grant
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10. It sits 1.2 points above the Kenosha County average of 3.8.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.8/10. Cost burden runs 36% here against 40.9% across Kenosha County. Court records carry 494 eviction filings across 12 observed years.
Running cool, state political climate reads 2.9/10. Filings peaked in 2007 at 7.5% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 5.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.
