Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Inglewood
At $922 a month, rents run 36% under what the rest of Wauwatosa commands. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. It sits 1.5 points below the Milwaukee County average of 4.5.
Disability prevalence runs 18.5% against 31.5% nationally. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.1/10. Housing insecurity runs 4.6% against 14.2% nationally.
Against Milwaukee County at 45.8%, 40% of renters here are cost-burdened. Court records carry 19 eviction filings across 9 observed years. The severe-burden share is 8%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
The worst year on record was 2008, when 2.3% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 1.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 22% 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.
