Hegelmeyer's maps to a single census tract in Milwaukee, WI, population 5,659. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. 37% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Milwaukee rate of 30.5%. The filing record is not thin: 229 evictions logged in this tract.
The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 3.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.9% in 2017, is well off that peak.
Among the 53 mapped neighborhoods of Milwaukee, it ranks #28 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Theater District and Dretzka Park score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,037, close to the Milwaukee average.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $61,618. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
