Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

The filing record is not thin: 1,500 evictions over 13 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2014, when 30.6% of renter households were served. At $964 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Milwaukee commands.

On the national scale it lands near the 76th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
