Six Points Eviction Risk: Moderate

6 census tracts · pop 18,415 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.2/10 · range 3.3–4.8

Six Points is a 6-tract neighborhood of West Allis, WI, population 18,415. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, Moderate tier. Against a West Allis baseline of 25.7%, 38% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.3 to 4.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

Filings are well documented here: 1,963 across 6 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 7.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.5% in 2017, is well off that peak.

That places it #2 of 9 neighborhoods in West Allis. For a like-for-like read, Beloit Park Manor and Greenfield Park score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $62,298, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion.

Average gross rent runs $1,036, close to the West Allis average. 52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
