Analysis
What drives eviction risk in HarborPark
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 4.9/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Kenosha eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Kenosha County average of 4.7 and above the Wisconsin statewide average of 4.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Part of this tract, about 15% of its area, sat in the redlined grade-D zone on 1930s HOLC maps, though its dominant grade was C ("Declining"). That lending history still correlates with present-day rent burden.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 331 eviction filings here over 12 tracked years, with about 7.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 9.4% of renter households in 2014.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
