· range 3.4–3.4
Timber Ridge maps to a single census tract in La Porte, IN and houses 5,105 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.4/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a La Porte baseline of 27.1%, 41% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
28% 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. Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10. At $888 a month, rents sit 6% under what the rest of La Porte commands.
At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 3.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
