Sherman Park Eviction Risk: Moderate , Milwaukee

Cost burden runs 75% here against 45.8% across Milwaukee County. Set annual rent against average income of $23,375 and the ratio lands at 53%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 30.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Disability prevalence runs 50.9% against 31.5% nationally. The poverty rate is 32%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.1/10.

On the high side, economic stress reads 7.9/10. 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.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,418 filings here across 13 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2014 at 18.3% of renter households.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 13.4% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 76% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
