· range 3.4–3.4
Garyton maps to a single census tract in Lake Station, IN and houses 5,875 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.7/10.
Against a Lake Station baseline of 29.1%, 37% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10.
9% 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. Only 21% 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.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,103, close to the Lake Station average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
