Parkview Highlands Eviction Risk: Moderate

3 census tracts · pop 9,741 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.1/10 · range 5–5.2

Parkview Highlands spans 3 census tracts of Milwaukee, WI, population 9,741. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.1/10, Moderate tier. 37% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Milwaukee rate of 30.5%.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. The severe-burden share is 15%. 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%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Filings are well documented here: 770 across 3 observed tracts. SNAP participation is 26.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2017 at 12.8% of renter households.

18.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 53 mapped neighborhoods of Milwaukee, it ranks #22 by risk, the middle third.

Judgments average 2.1% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $1,049, close to the Milwaukee average.

With little internal variation, 5.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
