Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Towne
Against Milwaukee County at 45.8%, roughly one in three of renters here are cost-burdened. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.1/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.8/10.
Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.3/10. Court records carry 441 eviction filings across 13 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2007 at 8.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 6.1% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 44% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $71,378, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
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.
