Center Street Marketplace Eviction Risk: Moderate , Milwaukee

31% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Annualized rent equals 43% of average household income of $27,708, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 28.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. This is renter territory: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 8.4/10. Against Milwaukee County at 45.8%, 57% of renters here are cost-burdened. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.

It sits 1.3 points above the Milwaukee County average of 4.5. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,582 filings here across 13 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2007 at 22.3% of renter households.
