Bronzeville Eviction Risk: Moderate , Milwaukee

At $390 a month, rents run 63% under what the rest of Milwaukee commands. The poverty rate is 47%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

This is renter territory: 94% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Housing insecurity runs 35.0% against 14.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 28.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Cost burden runs 35% here against 45.8% across Milwaukee County.

17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.

Against the Milwaukee County average of 4.5, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Court records carry 345 eviction filings across 13 observed years. Filings peaked in 2003 at 5.7% of renter households.

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 3.9% of renter households face a filing.

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.
