Analysis
What drives eviction risk in HarborPark
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10. The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Food insecurity runs 29.8% against 17.8% nationally.
It sits 1.2 points above the Kenosha County average of 3.8. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.6/10. 46% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Kenosha County average of 40.9%.
Court records carry 628 eviction filings across 12 observed years. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.9/10. Filings peaked in 2013 at 10.0% of renter households.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Kenosha. 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 8.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
