Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Muskego

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.9/10.

Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation runs 6.7% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 9 evictions over 3 years of observation.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.9/10. Against the Waukesha County average of 3.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The worst year on record was 2002, when 0.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 0.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
