New Elliott maps to a single census tract in Schererville, IN and houses 7,346 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 54% against 27.1% citywide, putting New Elliott 26.7% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 35%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.6/10.
The voucher gap is 15.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation is 5.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Schererville. Only 10% 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.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Lake Hills and Stone Bridge. Rent takes 14% 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 $1,384, close to the Schererville average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
