Analysis
What drives eviction risk in HarborPark
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.2/10.
It sits 1.2 points above the Kenosha County average of 3.8. Housing insecurity runs 24.7% against 14.2% nationally. roughly one in three of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Kenosha County average of 40.9%.
The filing record is not thin: 538 evictions over 12 years of observation. Adults with no health insurance runs 19.4% against 11.3% nationally. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.9/10.
At $1,038 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Kenosha commands. Filings peaked in 2016 at 13.7% 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 8.4% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
