Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Villa Capri
23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.2/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.4/10.
Food insecurity runs 10.0% against 17.8% nationally. At $1,040 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Kenosha commands.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Kenosha. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. On the national scale it lands near the 44th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.8/10.
It tracks the Kenosha County average of 3.8 closely. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $58,570. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
