About eviction risk in Sherwood, WI

Sherwood, WI has an eviction risk score of 4.0 out of 10, placing it in the moderate-risk tier for landlords operating in Calumet County and the state of Wisconsin. The score combines local political climate, court disposition patterns, cost-of-eviction estimates, tenant organizing strength, and the likelihood of new tenant-protective legislation in the next legislative cycle.

Census ACS 2023 5-year estimates show median gross rent as a percentage of household income is 36.5% — a core driver of eviction filings, because households above 30% of income on rent are statistically more likely to miss a payment after any income shock. Median gross rent in Sherwood is $1,173/month. About 3.3% of occupied units here are renter-occupied.

Economic stress: poverty rate 3.1%, unemployment 0.8%. Higher values correlate with higher eviction filing rates and longer court timelines.

Political climate: In 2020, Calumet County voted Republican by 19.6 points — classified as moderately landlord-leaning for purposes of rent-control or just-cause expansion risk.
