Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Six Points

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.6/10.

Court records carry 305 eviction filings across 13 observed years. The worst year on record was 2012, when 4.6% of renter households were served. 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 3.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 47th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.5/10. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $64,191, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
