Roosevelt Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,804 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.6/10 · range 3.6–3.6

Roosevelt is a one-tract suburb of Kenosha, WI, population 3,804. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. 23% 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.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. around a third of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 267 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 14.1% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 3.0% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #8 of 16 neighborhoods in Kenosha. The closest comparables inside the same city are Villa Capri and Isetts.

Against average income of $85,290, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $1,217, close to the Kenosha average. 33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
