Lowell Eviction Risk: Lower

The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10. Against the Lake County average of 4.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.4 points.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.4/10. SNAP participation runs 4.8% against 15.2% nationally. At $1,319 a month, rents run 17% over what the rest of Lowell commands.

Food insecurity runs 9.9% against 17.8% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $95,766, annual rent is just 17%.

Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

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.
