Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lincoln-King
What moves this score most is supply constraint at 4.7/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Racine eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Racine County average of 4.9 and above the Wisconsin statewide average of 4.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 586 eviction filings here over 11 tracked years, with about 6.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 7.0% of renter households in 2017.
In CDC survey modeling, about 16.8% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 9.7% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
