East Market is a one-tract neighborhood of Hales Corners, WI, population 4,740. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 44% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Hales Corners rate of 29.8%.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10.
Court records for this tract carry 232 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 4.9% of renter households.
Food insecurity affects 9.3% of adults, 8.5 points below the national rate. The most recent observed rate, 1.7% in 2017, is well off that peak.
At $1,243 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Hales Corners commands. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
