Tosa Village is a 2-tract neighborhood of Wauwatosa, WI and houses 9,205 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Wauwatosa rate of 26.8%.
30% 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. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Court records carry 215 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
3.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filing activity peaked in 2017 at 1.4% of renter households. The voucher gap is 11.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
That places it #2 of 6 neighborhoods in Wauwatosa. Judgments average 0.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Milwaukee County Research Park and Underwood Parkway.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
