Many residents in historically marginalized neighborhoods like Milwaukee's Amani neighborhood face challenges paying rent due to historical redlining, poverty, and dilapidated housing conditions. Absentee landlords worsen conditions by neglecting property maintenance while collecting rent, impacting residents' ability to pursue homeownership.
Milwaukee tops the Midwest as the most rent-burdened city, with residents allocating a significant portion of their income towards rent payments. The increasing rent-to-income ratio, currently at 27.4%, surpasses the national average, hindering residents' financial stability and ability to afford housing.
