The worst year on record was 2003, when 6.0% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Milwaukee Co.

That is riskier than roughly 76% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.3/10. Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.9 points hotter.
