Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Isetts
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.3/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Court records carry 154 eviction filings across 12 observed years.
Running cool, state political climate reads 2.9/10. Severe burden reaches 8%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Food insecurity runs 10.2% against 17.8% nationally. The worst year on record was 2014, when 2.9% of renter households were served. 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 1.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #59,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.7/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
