Analysis
What drives eviction risk in McKinley
Cost burden runs 70% here against 40.9% across Kenosha County. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.7/10.
SNAP participation runs 29.7% against 15.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.
The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Kenosha County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points.
Average gross rent is $971, 18% below the Kenosha average. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 531 filings here across 12 tracked years. Food insecurity runs 26.0% against 17.8% nationally.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.9/10. The worst year on record was 2014, when 10.0% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
