Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mount Pleasant
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.4/10. Against Racine County at 36.6%, 48% of renters here are cost-burdened. At $804 a month, rents run 29% under what the rest of Mount Pleasant commands.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.4/10.
Court records carry 277 eviction filings across 11 observed years. Food insecurity runs 9.8% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 0.7 points below the Racine County average of 3.7.
The worst year on record was 2002, when 9.5% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Racine. 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 5.3% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.6/10.
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.
