Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Granville

Food insecurity runs 42.0% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 44%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against Milwaukee County at 45.8%, 60% of renters here are cost-burdened. 29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $27,466, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

78% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. Housing insecurity runs 28.5% against 14.2% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.1/10. It sits 1.3 points above the Milwaukee County average of 4.5.

Average gross rent is $891, 16% below the Milwaukee average. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,048 filings here across 13 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2013, when 11.6% of renter households were served.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
