· range 7.3–7.3
Eastside takes in 2 census tracts of Bloomington, IN and houses 10,691 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.3/10, in the Elevated tier. The severe-burden share is 39%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Set annual rent against average household income of $23,131 and the ratio lands at 57%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 72% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Bloomington rate of 39.5%.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 48%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. 90% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
On the high side is housing-court posture at 9/10. Food insecurity affects 28.1% of adults, 10.3 points above the national rate. At $1,107 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Bloomington commands.
Among the 15 mapped neighborhoods of Bloomington, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Park Ridge and Near West Side score within a fraction of it. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 7.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
