Adults with no health insurance runs 3.8% against 11.3% nationally. Filings peaked in 2003 at 5.1% of renter households. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Milwaukee Co.

In a typical year about 1.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
