Northwood maps to a single census tract in Nappanee, IN and houses 5,528 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 59% against 33.1% citywide, putting Northwood 25.4% over its own city.
The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.2/10.
Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2/10.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $864, close to the Nappanee average. 44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
