Bristol Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. It sits 0.9 points below the Elkhart County average of 3.9.

At $980 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Bristol commands. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 6% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 4.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $80,565, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
