Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2/10. The voucher gap is 17.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Filings are well documented here: 158 across 2 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 4.5% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.0% of adults, 8.8 points below the national rate. The most recent observed rate, 1.4% in 2017, is well off that peak.
That places it #5 of 6 neighborhoods in Wauwatosa. For a like-for-like read, Park Ridge and Fisher Parkway score within a fraction of it. Its 2 tracts score within 0.1 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
