Town of Lake Eviction Risk: Moderate , Milwaukee

19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. Average gross rent is $855, 19% below the Milwaukee average.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 250 filings here across 13 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2008 at 12.1% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 6.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 55th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 7.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for about half of renters.

It tracks the Milwaukee County average of 4.5 closely. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $45,625.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
