Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Michiana Shores
The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 10/10. Average gross rent is $2,597, 160% above the Michiana Shores average.
The voucher gap is 150.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.6/10.
Food insecurity runs 5.4% against 17.8% nationally. The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.6% against 11.3% nationally.
It sits 0.7 points below the LaPorte County average of 3.7. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. 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.
