Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Southgate Manor
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 8.6/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Milwaukee County average of 6.0 and above the Wisconsin statewide average of 4.6. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
