The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10.
The severe-burden share is 12%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. SNAP participation runs 24.2% against 15.2% nationally.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for South Bend. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 8.3% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #50,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
