Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Six Points
The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.
At $1,214 a month, rents run 21% over what the rest of West Allis commands. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 544 evictions over 13 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2008, when 7.9% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 4.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #47,371 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.3/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 47% of renters.
It tracks the Milwaukee County average of 4.5 closely.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
