Harmeson Heights maps to a single census tract in Anderson, IN, population 3,073. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Anderson baseline of 30.8%, 45% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.4/10. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Anderson, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third.
Only 27% 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. Against average income of $67,516, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.
Average gross rent runs $950, close to the Anderson average.
One tract means one number: 3.7/10 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.
