HarborPark Eviction Risk: Moderate

7 census tracts · pop 20,664 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 3.5–5

HarborPark takes in 7 census tracts of Kenosha, WI and houses 20,664 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. 58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Kenosha rate of 29.7%.

Severe burden reaches 34%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Scores across the 7 constituent tracts range from 3.5 to 5. A 1.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. SNAP participation is 29.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Filings are well documented here: 4,331 across 7 observed tracts. At $1,038 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Kenosha commands. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 16.8% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 7.0% in 2017, is well off that peak. Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Kenosha, it ranks #4 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $55,355.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
