Rum Village Eviction Risk: Moderate
2 census tracts · pop 5,318 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.6/10 · range 4.6–4.6
Rum Village is a 2-tract neighborhood of South Bend, IN and houses 5,318 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. 46% 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.
60% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the South Bend rate of 30.2%. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
On the high side is economic stress at 7.9/10. Court records carry 109 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. 20.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Disability prevalence reaches 43.7% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 20.4% of renter households. Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of South Bend, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Judgments average 9.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Near West Side and Westside. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
