· range 4.3–4.3
Lakeshore maps to a single census tract in South Milwaukee, WI and houses 2,993 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 40%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a South Milwaukee baseline of 27.9%, 62% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.4/10.
The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 273 evictions logged in this tract.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 7.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 4.0% in 2017, is well off that peak.
That places it #2 of 6 neighborhoods in South Milwaukee. Only 26% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Lakeview and Downtown District score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $1,050, close to the South Milwaukee average.
One tract means one number: 4.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
