Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wanatah

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.1/10. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8.2/10. At $1,208 a month, rents run 24% over what the rest of Wanatah commands.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10. The voucher gap is 16.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation runs 7.2% against 15.2% nationally.

It sits 0.7 points below the LaPorte County average of 3.7. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 6% 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. Social vulnerability reads 1.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $97,500, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

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.
