Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Estabrook Park
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 9.3/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Shorewood, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Milwaukee County average of 6.0 and above the Wisconsin statewide average of 4.6. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.32x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, well below the pre-pandemic norm, the signature of an eviction moratorium at work.
HOLC surveyors mapped this tract in the 1930s with a dominant grade of B ("Still Desirable"), above the redlined D tier. The grading still shaped decades of lending and development in the surrounding area.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
