Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lincoln-King
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.4/10. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 701 filings here across 11 tracked years. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.9/10. It sits 0.7 points above the Racine County average of 3.7.
Filings peaked in 2017 at 9.4% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.
In a typical year about 8.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 49% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 7.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
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.
