New Palestine Eviction Risk: Lower

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10.

15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. SNAP participation runs 4.6% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 8.4% against 17.8% nationally.

That is riskier than roughly 25% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.6/10.

Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $95,114, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 39% of renters. It tracks the Hancock County average of 3.5 closely.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
