Goshen Eviction Risk: Lower

Pulling hardest the other way is eviction-process difficulty at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.

SNAP participation runs 6.1% against 15.2% nationally. Nationally it ranks #56,048 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $79,396, annual rent is just 16%.

It tracks the Elkhart County average of 3.9 closely. Average gross rent is $1,044, close to the Goshen average.

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.
