Lynndale is a 6-tract neighborhood of Milwaukee, WI and houses 20,504 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
40% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Milwaukee rate of 30.5%. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10.
The 6 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.3 to 5.3, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Filings are well documented here: 1,385 across 6 observed tracts. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
SNAP participation is 25.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 19.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 6.6% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.5% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #25 of 53 neighborhoods in Milwaukee.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,030, close to the Milwaukee average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $57,233.
44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1 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.
