Underwood Parkway Eviction Risk: Lower , Wauwatosa

The voucher gap is 48.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. 58% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Milwaukee County average of 45.8%.

At $1,871 a month, rents run 30% over what the rest of Wauwatosa commands. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.9/10.

It sits 1.5 points below the Milwaukee County average of 4.5. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 102 filings here across 13 tracked years.

Housing insecurity runs 6.9% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2009 at 2.7% 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 1.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
