Theater District maps to a single census tract in Milwaukee, WI, population 3,231. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. At $1,615 a month, rents sit 53% over what the rest of Milwaukee commands.
This is a renter market: 88% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Against a Milwaukee baseline of 30.5%, 42% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The voucher gap is 28.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 7.8/10.
The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10.
The filing record is not thin: 207 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 2.5% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 1.6% in 2017 against a 2.5% peak.
That places it #28 of 53 neighborhoods in Milwaukee.
One tract means one number: 4.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
