Historical context · 1930s redlining
HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)
This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Bluemound Manor
At $1,438 a month, rents run 43% over what the rest of West Allis commands. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. It sits 1.4 points below the Milwaukee County average of 4.5.
Running cool, economic stress reads 2.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 56 evictions over 13 years of observation.
The voucher gap is 14.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Filings peaked in 2012 at 5.7% 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 2.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 22% 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 5.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. 49% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
