Center Street Marketplace spans 19 census tracts of Milwaukee, WI, population 41,627. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Milwaukee rate of 30.5%.
35% 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. SNAP participation is 50.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 31.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 29%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Scores across the 19 constituent tracts range from 3.9 to 5.8. A 1.9-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10.
Court records carry 19,030 eviction filings across its 19 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2017 at 32.1% of renter households.
Among the 53 mapped neighborhoods of Milwaukee, it ranks #17 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 8.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a like-for-like read, Brady Street and Deer District score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.9 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
