Center Street Marketplace Eviction Risk: Moderate , Milwaukee

SNAP participation runs 37.4% against 15.2% nationally. 26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Set annual rent against average income of $34,057 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.1/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.2/10. The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against the Milwaukee County average of 4.5, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Housing insecurity runs 24.6% against 14.2% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 690 filings here across 13 tracked years. At $910 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Milwaukee commands.

Filings peaked in 2014 at 11.7% of renter households. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 8.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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.
