Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sunnyside
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.3/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.
At $1,407 a month, rents run 19% over what the rest of Kenosha commands. Court records carry 96 eviction filings across 12 observed years. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.9/10.
Against the Kenosha County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. The worst year on record was 2011, when 3.5% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. In a typical year about 3.2% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 6.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
