Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Butchel Park
Cost burden runs 62% here against 45.8% across Milwaukee County. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 2/10.
Against the Milwaukee County average of 4.5, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.5 points. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 285 eviction filings across 13 observed years.
Average gross rent is $1,157, 9% above the Milwaukee average. Filings peaked in 2013 at 33.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 23.9% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 8% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.7/10.
Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $99,717, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.
