Oakland Triangle Eviction Risk: Moderate , Lafayette

This is renter territory: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10.

Cost burden runs 41% here against 49.7% across Tippecanoe County. 17% 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 softer side, state political climate reads 2/10. At $895 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Lafayette commands.

It sits 0.9 points above the Tippecanoe County average of 4.5. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 8.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
