Town Hall Terrace spans 3 census tracts of Milwaukee, WI and houses 13,011 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Milwaukee rate of 30.5%.
Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.6/10. Filings are well documented here: 845 across 3 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 4.6% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.8% in 2017 against a 4.6% peak.
That places it #47 of 53 neighborhoods in Milwaukee. For a like-for-like read, Valley Forge and Butchel Park score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $71,231, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
Its 3 tracts score within 0.2 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $1,042, close to the Milwaukee average. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
