Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Muskego

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.9/10. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Food insecurity runs 7.4% against 17.8% nationally. The voucher gap is 16.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Court records carry 12 eviction filings across 4 observed years. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.9/10. Housing insecurity runs 6.5% against 14.2% nationally.

At $1,464 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of Muskego commands. Against the Waukesha County average of 3.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points.

The worst year on record was 2009, when 2.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.8% of renter households face a filing.
