Center Street Marketplace Eviction Risk: Moderate , Milwaukee

Cost burden runs roughly one in three here against 45.8% across Milwaukee County. Housing insecurity runs 32.4% against 14.2% nationally. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 8.5/10.

The poverty rate is 34%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 65% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.

16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 1.3 points above the Milwaukee County average of 4.5.

On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 642 evictions over 13 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2003, when 21.1% 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.
