Parkway Heights maps to a single census tract in South Milwaukee, WI, population 4,016. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. Against a South Milwaukee baseline of 27.9%, 42% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
25% 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. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.8/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.4/10.
The filing record is not thin: 332 evictions logged in this tract. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 5.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.6% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #5 of 6 neighborhoods in South Milwaukee.
Against average income of $68,250, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $1,015, close to the South Milwaukee average. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
