Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Inglewood
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. 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. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.1/10. Average gross rent is $1,123, 22% below the Wauwatosa average.
Food insecurity runs 8.1% against 17.8% nationally. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 177 evictions over 13 years of observation.
SNAP participation runs 8.0% against 15.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2003 at 3.7% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 1.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
