Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mount Pleasant
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.9/10. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.4/10.
Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.7/10. Court records carry 299 eviction filings across 11 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2001, when 7.1% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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.
In a typical year about 4.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 25% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.7/10. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $74,545, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
