Zimmerman's maps to a single census tract in Griffith, IN, population 4,802. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 43% against 27.7% citywide, putting Zimmerman's 15.0% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.4/10. 20% 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.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,181, close to the Griffith average.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $62,167. 59% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
