Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Racine

81% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Racine County average of 36.6%. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10.

Food insecurity runs 10.3% against 17.8% nationally. Average gross rent is $903, 13% below the Racine average.

This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Racine. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #39,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 25% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 5.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $54,490.
