1 census tracts · pop 3,736 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.3/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

Average gross rent is $1,407, 19% above the Kenosha average of $1,186. Court records for this tract carry 96 eviction filings.

Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 3.5% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 4.0% in 2017 against a 3.5% peak. That places it #13 of 16 neighborhoods in Kenosha.

At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $83,696.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
