Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10. Court records carry 308 eviction filings across 13 observed years. Filings peaked in 2003 at 14.4% of renter households.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Milwaukee Co. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 9.1% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 46th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 7.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 48% of renters. It tracks the Milwaukee County average of 4.5 closely.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
