What drives eviction risk in Brady Street
This is renter territory: 84% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.1/10.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.2/10. Against the Milwaukee County average of 4.5, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.
The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10.
Court records carry 565 eviction filings across 13 observed years. Average gross rent is $911, 14% below the Milwaukee average. The worst year on record was 2016, when 3.6% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 2.3% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
