What drives eviction risk in Center Street Marketplace
34% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Housing insecurity runs 35.7% against 14.2% nationally. The dominant input is economic stress at 9.1/10.
The poverty rate is 36%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. Against the Milwaukee County average of 4.5, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.
Cost burden runs 52% here against 45.8% across Milwaukee County. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,181 filings here across 13 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2014, when 21.8% of renter households were served. 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.
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.
