Bronzeville Eviction Risk: Moderate , Milwaukee

36% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 47.7% against 17.8% nationally.

Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $30,100, 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. 70% 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.

The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 24.2% 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. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10. Court records carry 1,239 eviction filings across 13 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2010 at 22.0% of renter households.
