· range 4.4–5.8
Brady Street spans 3 census tracts of Milwaukee, WI, population 4,393. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Milwaukee rate of 30.5%.
29% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. This is a renter market: 84% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 4.4 to 5.8. A 1.4-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. Filings are well documented here: 825 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 3.6% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $971, 8% below the Milwaukee average of $1,059. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.4% in 2017 against a 3.6% peak. That places it #17 of 53 neighborhoods in Milwaukee.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Center Street Marketplace and Deer District.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
