Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Westside
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, economic stress reads 8.8/10.
SNAP participation runs 32.8% against 15.2% nationally. Cost burden runs about half here against 41.2% across St. Joseph County. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 37 filings here across 1 tracked years.
Against the St. Joseph County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. The worst year on record was 2015, when 13.9% 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 13.9% of renter households face a filing.
