Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sheraton Lawns
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.3/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.
Against the Milwaukee County average of 4.5, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.5 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 29 eviction filings across 12 observed years.
SNAP participation runs 7.1% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 7.0% against 14.2% nationally.
Filings peaked in 2004 at 2.8% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 1.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $105,769, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
