SOHI Eviction Risk: Moderate , Milwaukee

Against Milwaukee County at 45.8%, 30% of renters here are cost-burdened. The poverty rate is 32%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Housing insecurity runs 30.7% against 14.2% nationally.

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.1/10. On the high side, economic stress reads 7.9/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

It sits 1.3 points above the Milwaukee County average of 4.5. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 577 filings here across 13 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2017, when 23.8% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 16.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
