Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Conrad Gardens
around a third of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Milwaukee County average of 45.8%. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.9/10.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining").
