Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lincoln Park
Cost burden runs about half here against 40.9% across Kenosha County. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10.
Average gross rent is $1,470, 24% above the Kenosha average. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.9/10. It sits 0.9 points above the Kenosha County average of 3.8. The filing record is not thin: 207 evictions over 12 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2015 at 7.1% of renter households. 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 5.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 55th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. The legal-climate inputs (statute speed, court posture, rent-regulation exposure) come from Kenosha as a whole. Only the economic and supply signals are measured inside this tract.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.3/10.
