Analysis

What drives eviction risk in New Berlin

34% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The voucher gap is 55.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. At $1,958 a month, rents run 37% over what the rest of New Berlin commands.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.9/10. Cost burden runs 34% here against 40.0% across Waukesha County.

SNAP participation runs 6.5% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Nationally it ranks #65,414 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Waukesha County average of 3.6 closely.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $111,354.

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