· range 4.6–7.3
Harters Heights takes in 2 census tracts of Roseland, IN and houses 13,011 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.5/10, in the Elevated tier. 63% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Roseland rate of 38.8%.
35% 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. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 4.6 to 7.3. A 2.7-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Set annual rent against average household income of $45,149 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
This is a renter market: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. The voucher gap is 20.4%: 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 7.6/10. The filing record is not thin: 32 evictions logged in this tract. Running hot is economic stress at 7.5/10.
The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 5.2% of renter households. At $1,319 a month, rents sit 7% over what the rest of Roseland commands.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
