Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Six Points
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.1/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2/10.
13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10.
At $883 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Milwaukee commands. The filing record is not thin: 205 evictions over 13 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2014 at 7.5% of renter households.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 4.2% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 51st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 4.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
