20% 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. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10.

SNAP participation is 6.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 6.1% of renter households.
Judgments average 2.1% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Average gross rent runs $1,152, close to the Valparaiso average.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $68,116. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
