Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cudahy
The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 36% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Milwaukee County average of 45.8%. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.8/10.
Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.3/10. Court records carry 606 eviction filings across 13 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2011, when 5.0% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Milwaukee Co. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 4.2% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 42nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Milwaukee County average of 4.5 closely.
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.
