M District is a 2-tract neighborhood of Oak Creek, WI, population 6,749. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.1/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.6/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.8/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 252 evictions logged in this tract.
The voucher gap is 14.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Against a Oak Creek baseline of 23.7%, 28% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 9.1% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 4.9% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #2 of 6 neighborhoods in Oak Creek. For a like-for-like read, College Heights and South Chicago Avenue score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 2 tracts score within 0.2 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $1,433, close to the Oak Creek average.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
