Freedom Village Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,702 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Freedom Village is a one-tract quarter of Brown Deer, WI and houses 5,702 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 48% against 28.6% citywide, putting Freedom Village 19.0% over its own city.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.2/10. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10. At $984 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Brown Deer commands. Court records for this tract carry 279 eviction filings.

On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.2/10. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 12.7% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 9.3% in 2017 against a 12.7% peak. Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

For a like-for-like read, Range Line Valley and Tripoli Park score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
