Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Juneau Highlands
On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.6/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.
Against the Milwaukee County average of 4.5, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 450 filings here across 13 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 4.9% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Milwaukee Co. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 4.0% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 7.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $66,543, an unusually wide affordability cushion. 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.
