Capitol Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate , Milwaukee

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.1/10. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Housing insecurity runs 27.0% against 14.2% nationally. Against the Milwaukee County average of 4.5, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.

Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The filing record is not thin: 500 evictions over 13 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2013 at 14.3% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 9.9% 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 8.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
