Historic Financial District Eviction Risk: Moderate
1 census tracts · pop 2,454 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.6/10
· range 4.6–4.6
Historic Financial District maps to a single census tract in Milwaukee, WI, population 2,454. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 75% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. The severe-burden share is 13%. 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 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 138 evictions logged in this tract.
Cost burden runs roughly one in four against 30.5% citywide, putting Historic Financial District 3.7% under its own city. Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 1.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.6% in 2017, is well off that peak.
Among the 53 mapped neighborhoods of Milwaukee, it ranks #31 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are East Village and Hegelmeyer's. Against average income of $68,750, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
Average gross rent runs $1,111, close to the Milwaukee average.
One tract means one number: 4.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
