Cesar E. Chavez Drive Eviction Risk: Moderate , Milwaukee

Food insecurity runs 54.9% against 17.8% nationally. Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

The poverty rate is 42%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 80% 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.

Disability prevalence runs 47.4% against 31.5% nationally. Running hot, 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. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.4/10.

The filing record is not thin: 1,070 evictions over 13 years of observation. Cost burden runs 50% here against 45.8% across Milwaukee County. At $930 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Milwaukee commands.

The worst year on record was 2008, when 12.4% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Milwaukee Co.
