Fall Creek Highland maps to a single census tract in Lawrence, IN, population 3,002. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Against a Lawrence baseline of 32.0%, 49% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
30% 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 economic stress, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $1,512, 28% above the Lawrence average of $1,178. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10. The voucher gap is 17.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.2/10. SNAP participation is 5.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. That places it #2 of 4 neighborhoods in Lawrence.
Only 18% 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 Trilobi Hills and Oaklandon. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
