1 census tracts · pop 3,915 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.5/10 · range 3.5–3.5

Woodlawn Manor is a one-tract quarter of West Allis, WI and houses 3,915 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. At $807 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of West Allis commands.

Cost burden runs 20% against 25.7% citywide, putting Woodlawn Manor 5.7% under its own city. The filing record is not thin: 202 evictions logged in this tract.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.7/10. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 3.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.7% in 2017, is well off that peak.

That places it #4 of 9 neighborhoods in West Allis. For a like-for-like read, LaFollette Park and Lincoln Heights Terrace score within a fraction of it.

Against average income of $71,205, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion. 51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
