Elkhart Eviction Risk: Moderate

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. The poverty rate is 34%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Food insecurity runs 35.0% against 17.8% nationally.

On the high side, economic stress reads 8.6/10. 68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10. Against the Elkhart County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

Housing insecurity runs 26.6% against 14.2% nationally. Cost burden runs 47% here against 40.7% across Elkhart County. Average gross rent is $892, 11% below the Elkhart average.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.

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.
