What drives eviction risk in Center Street Marketplace
What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. Food insecurity runs 50.7% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 44%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.
Disability prevalence runs 45.7% against 31.5% nationally. Against the Milwaukee County average of 4.5, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,334 filings here across 13 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2014, when 22.7% of renter households were served. 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 21.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 76th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
