Historical context · 1930s redlining
HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)
This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Six Points
The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.1/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.
The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 218 evictions over 13 years of observation.
The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The worst year on record was 2015, when 3.7% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 2.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 5.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $70,208, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
