Granville takes in 2 census tracts of Milwaukee, WI and houses 8,110 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Milwaukee baseline of 30.5%, 62% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
SNAP participation is 37.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. This is a renter market: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.2 to 5.8, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.
Filings are well documented here: 3,755 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 20.6% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $978, 8% below the Milwaukee average of $1,059.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
