Menomonee River Hills maps to a single census tract in Milwaukee, WI, population 2,855. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Milwaukee baseline of 30.5%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
35% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. This is a renter market: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 29.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 19.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 1,711 evictions logged in this tract.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.9/10. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 30.0% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 18.8% in 2017 against a 30.0% peak.
Among the 53 mapped neighborhoods of Milwaukee, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.8/10 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.
