Analysis

What drives eviction risk in New Berlin

The main counterweight is court filing pressure at 1.9/10. Average gross rent is $1,084, 24% below the New Berlin average.

Running cool, economic stress reads 2.2/10. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.8/10.

Food insecurity runs 9.3% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 17 evictions over 4 years of observation.

It sits 0.7 points above the Waukesha County average of 3.6. The worst year on record was 2010, when 2.2% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 1.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
