Westlawn Eviction Risk: Moderate , Milwaukee

SNAP participation runs 52.8% against 15.2% nationally. Cost burden runs 59% here against 45.8% across Milwaukee County. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $35,699, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.1/10. The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

It sits 1.3 points above the Milwaukee County average of 4.5. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 800 evictions over 13 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2003, when 16.2% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Milwaukee Co. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 10.7% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 76th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
