SOHI Eviction Risk: Moderate , Milwaukee

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 47.3% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 47%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

99% 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. Cost burden runs 60% here against 45.8% across Milwaukee County.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Average gross rent is $730, 31% below the Milwaukee average. Set annual rent against average income of $26,146 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

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.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 3,061 filings here across 13 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2003, when 29.8% 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.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
