Forest Park is a one-tract suburb of Kenosha, WI, population 2,572. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Average gross rent is $1,446, 22% above the Kenosha average of $1,186. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Severe burden reaches 11%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs around a third against 29.7% citywide, putting Forest Park 4.5% over its own city. Food insecurity affects 9.3% of adults, 8.5 points below the national rate. Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Kenosha, it ranks #11 by risk, the lower third.
At 12% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Devonshire and Isetts score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $89,750, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
