Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Civic Center

Cost burden runs 56% here against 40.0% across Waukesha County. The voucher gap is 37.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 8.7/10. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.9/10.

Food insecurity runs 7.6% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 11 evictions over 3 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.

The worst year on record was 2009, when 2.8% of renter households were served. At $1,727 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Brookfield commands.

In a typical year about 1.7% of renter households face a filing.

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