Sherman Park Eviction Risk: Moderate
4 census tracts · pop 9,785 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.7/10 · range 5–5.8
Sherman Park is a 4-tract suburb of Milwaukee, WI, population 9,785. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 42%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
65% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Milwaukee rate of 30.5%. SNAP participation is 59.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 26.3% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 33%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 8.2/10.
67% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. Filings are well documented here: 3,918 across 4 observed tracts.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 28.5% of renter households.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
