Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mishawaka
The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against the St. Joseph County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.2/10. At $851 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Mishawaka commands.
13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 44 filings here across 1 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2015, when 7.4% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 7.4% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 73rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
