Bronzeville Eviction Risk: Moderate , Milwaukee

roughly two in three of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Milwaukee County average of 45.8%. Annualized rent equals 58% of average household income of $20,673, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10.

Food insecurity runs 65.3% against 17.8% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 38.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The poverty rate is 57%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 74% 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. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.

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.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,336 filings here across 13 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2017, when 14.7% of renter households were served.

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.

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.
