Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Elm Lane

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 8.6/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.9/10. Food insecurity runs 6.7% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 13 evictions over 4 years of observation.

It sits 0.6 points below the Waukesha County average of 3.6. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

At $1,713 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Brookfield commands. Filings peaked in 2009 at 3.7% of renter households.

In a typical year about 2.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 3% 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 1.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $127,696, annual rent is just 16%.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
