What drives eviction risk in Old North Milwaukee
84% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Set annual rent against average income of $36,706 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.1/10.
Food insecurity runs 33.8% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 26.3% against 14.2% nationally. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.
Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,231 filings here across 13 tracked years. Cost burden runs 50% here against 45.8% across Milwaukee County.
The worst year on record was 2014, when 21.8% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Milwaukee Co.
