HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Parkview Highlands

SNAP participation runs 34.6% against 15.2% nationally. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $42,464, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.1/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 24.1% against 11.3% nationally. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10.

The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Court records carry 83 eviction filings across 13 observed years. It sits 0.7 points above the Milwaukee County average of 4.5. At $1,156 a month, rents run 9% over what the rest of Milwaukee commands.

The worst year on record was 2011, when 4.9% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Milwaukee Co. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
