Cesar E. Chavez Drive Eviction Risk: Moderate , Milwaukee

83% 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. 24% 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 30.9% against 14.2% nationally. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.8/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.

The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 39% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Milwaukee County average of 45.8%.

It sits 1.2 points above the Milwaukee County average of 4.5. Average gross rent is $856, 19% below the Milwaukee average. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Court records carry 779 eviction filings across 13 observed years. The worst year on record was 2016, when 13.1% 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 8.7% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 74th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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.
