LaFollette Park is a one-tract quarter of West Allis, WI and houses 1,828 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. 48% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the West Allis rate of 25.7%.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. 25% 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. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.2/10.
Court records for this tract carry 80 eviction filings. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 4.6% of renter households. Average gross rent is $903, 10% below the West Allis average of $1,007. Recent filings have not receded much: 3.3% in 2017 against a 4.6% peak.
Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of West Allis, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third. Only 18% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Woodlawn Manor and Lincoln Heights Terrace.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
