HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

What drives eviction risk in SOHI
98% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $27,964, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1.6/10.
The poverty rate is 32%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.1/10. Average gross rent is $832, 21% below the Milwaukee average.
Against the Milwaukee County average of 4.5, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Adults with no health insurance runs 20.4% against 11.3% nationally.
Court records carry 754 eviction filings across 13 observed years. Filings peaked in 2017 at 11.6% of renter households.
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.
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.
