Grafton Eviction Risk: Moderate

Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.9/10. Against the Ozaukee County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.3/10.

At $1,069 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Grafton commands. Against Ozaukee County at 37.1%, 43% of renters here are cost-burdened. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Housing insecurity runs 6.6% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 59th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the WI average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
