College Heights is a one-tract quarter of Oak Creek, WI and houses 2,356 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. 39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Oak Creek rate of 23.7%.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.2/10. At $1,092 a month, rents sit 25% under what the rest of Oak Creek commands.
14% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. That places it #3 of 6 neighborhoods in Oak Creek.
Against average income of $67,250, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
