What drives eviction risk in Pabst Park
The poverty rate is 40%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The severe-burden share is 27%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $34,152, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Food insecurity runs 35.4% against 17.8% nationally.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. Housing insecurity runs 26.1% against 14.2% nationally. Against the Milwaukee County average of 4.5, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 1,078 eviction filings across 13 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2016 at 13.5% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
