McKinley Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,022 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5/10 · range 5–5

McKinley is a one-tract suburb of Kenosha, WI, population 4,022. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 54% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

70% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Kenosha rate of 29.7%. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.7/10.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation is 29.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

At $971 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Kenosha commands. The filing record is not thin: 531 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 10.0% of renter households.

Food insecurity affects 26.0% of adults, 8.2 points above the national rate. The most recent observed rate, 4.5% in 2017, is well off that peak.

That places it #1 of 16 neighborhoods in Kenosha.

One tract means one number: 5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
