Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mount Pleasant

At $1,477 a month, rents run 31% over what the rest of Mount Pleasant commands. The voucher gap is 28.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The dominant input is supply constraint at 7.9/10.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.3/10. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.4/10.

Food insecurity runs 9.3% against 17.8% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 84 filings here across 11 tracked years.

Against the Racine County average of 3.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points. Filings peaked in 2002 at 21.9% of renter households. 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. On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
