· range 3–5.4
Crestview takes in 3 census tracts of Valparaiso, IN and houses 9,106 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.4, a 2.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.4/10. roughly one in three of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, marginally above the Valparaiso rate of 32.1%.
At $1,085 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Valparaiso commands. The closest comparables inside the same city are Marian Manor and Burlington Beach.
Against average income of $89,526, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
