Hearthstone is a one-tract neighborhood of Dyer, IN and houses 4,492 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 86% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Cost burden runs 86% against 51.0% citywide, putting Hearthstone 35.2% over its own city. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. SNAP participation is 5.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.9/10. Average gross rent is $1,146, 6% below the Dyer average of $1,225.
Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $100,450, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
