Lake Hills takes in 2 census tracts of Schererville, IN, population 10,824. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. At $761 a month, rents sit 42% under what the rest of Schererville commands.
Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.8/10. The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
SNAP participation is 5.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 24% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, marginally below the Schererville rate of 27.1%. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Schererville, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
At 2% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $97,183, annual rent is only 9%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
