These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

What drives eviction risk in SOHI
The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 58%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 97% 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.
Food insecurity runs 40.4% against 17.8% nationally. Annualized rent equals 40% of average household income of $26,474, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Cost burden runs 55% here against 45.8% across Milwaukee County.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2/10. It sits 1.3 points above the Milwaukee County average of 4.5.
Average gross rent is $881, 17% below the Milwaukee average. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 887 filings here across 13 tracked years.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2013, when 12.0% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.
