Hobart Eviction Risk: Lower

55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Lake County average of 43.0%. The voucher gap is 30.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty at 1.8/10.

At $1,556 a month, rents run 29% over what the rest of Hobart commands. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10.

SNAP participation runs 7.8% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Lake County average of 4.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 35th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

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.
