Pabst Park spans 3 census tracts of Milwaukee, WI, population 10,149. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 46% against 30.5% citywide, putting Pabst Park 15.5% over its own city.
The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.8, a 2.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The severe-burden share is 21%. 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 21%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records carry 1,759 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. SNAP participation is 24.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 13.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 7.1% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #37 of 53 neighborhoods in Milwaukee.
Against average income of $73,653, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $1,062, close to the Milwaukee average. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
