McCutcheon Heights maps to a single census tract in Lafayette, IN and houses 3,279 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 36%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10.
Against a Lafayette baseline of 31.0%, 36% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7/10. That places it #11 of 15 neighborhoods in Lafayette.
Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Pheasant Run and Edgelea score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,143, close to the Lafayette average.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $65,065.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
