1 census tracts · pop 2,361 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.5/10 · range 3.5–3.5

Historic Grant Park maps to a single census tract in South Milwaukee, WI and houses 2,361 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $1,268, 25% above the South Milwaukee average of $1,014.

The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.4/10. The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Court records for this tract carry 139 eviction filings.

Cost burden runs 23% against 27.9% citywide, putting Historic Grant Park 4.5% under its own city. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10.

Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 7.1% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 2.4% in 2017, is well off that peak.

Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of South Milwaukee, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $74,306. 33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
