What drives eviction risk in Bay View
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.
Against the Milwaukee County average of 4.5, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.5 points. At $1,305 a month, rents run 23% over what the rest of Milwaukee commands. Food insecurity runs 6.3% against 17.8% nationally.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 38 filings here across 13 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2012 at 2.9% of renter households. 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.
In a typical year about 1.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Against average income of $112,727, annual rent is just 14%. Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
