Silverswan maps to a single census tract in Milwaukee, WI, population 5,031. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Milwaukee rate of 30.5%.
SNAP participation is 46.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
68% 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. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 19.3% 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.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 2,917 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 21.8% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 22.6% in 2017 against a 21.8% peak. That places it #1 of 53 neighborhoods in Milwaukee.
The closest comparables inside the same city are West End and Menomonee River Hills. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
One tract means one number: 5.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
