· range 3.1–3.4
Lincoln Heights Terrace takes in 4 census tracts of West Allis, WI, population 13,467. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a West Allis baseline of 25.7%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Filings are well documented here: 602 across 4 observed tracts.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 5.3% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.7% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #7 of 9 neighborhoods in West Allis. For a like-for-like read, Juneau Highlands and Conrad Gardens score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Its 4 tracts score within 0.3 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $972, close to the West Allis average.
33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
