Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Granville
The score leans hardest on economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Milwaukee eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Milwaukee County average of 6.0 and above the Wisconsin statewide average of 4.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly Black and ranks around the 90th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.89x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, a little under the pre-pandemic norm.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
