Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Alta Loma Circle

21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Cost burden runs 46% here against 37.1% across Ozaukee County. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.9/10.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.4/10. SNAP participation runs 6.6% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 44 evictions over 16 years of observation.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2003 at 0.8% of renter households. In a typical year about 0.5% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #52,479 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.2/10. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $93,208, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
