Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Parkview Highlands
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 317 evictions over 13 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2008 at 4.2% of renter households.
At $964 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Milwaukee commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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.
In a typical year about 3.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
