What drives eviction risk in Lincoln Heights Terrace
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.3/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. It sits 1.4 points below the Milwaukee County average of 4.5. Court records carry 82 eviction filings across 13 observed years.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Milwaukee Co. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 1.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #65,414 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $66,167, annual rent is just 16%.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for roughly one in two of renters.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
