Marcy Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,570 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Marcy maps to a single census tract in Brookfield, WI, population 4,570. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $1,169, 38% below the Brookfield average of $1,886.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Against a Brookfield baseline of 24.3%, around a third of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Food insecurity affects 5.5% of adults, 12.3 points below the national rate.

The filing record is not thin: 4 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 4.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.

The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 1.7% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 1.5% in 2013 against a 1.7% peak. That places it #3 of 5 neighborhoods in Brookfield.

Only 4% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Elm Lane and Rainbow Gardens score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 10% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
