Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Orchard Hills

29% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Waukesha County average of 40.0%. The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.9/10.

SNAP participation runs 6.0% against 15.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 15.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.8/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 20 filings here across 4 tracked years. Housing insecurity runs 6.0% against 14.2% nationally.

Filings peaked in 2009 at 1.4% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Milwaukee Co. 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 0.8% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 27th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
