Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Oak Creek
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.2/10. Against the Milwaukee County average of 4.5, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.5 points.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. At $1,164 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Oak Creek commands. Food insecurity runs 10.0% against 17.8% nationally.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 2% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.7/10. Rent consumes only 11% of average household income of $124,438, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
