Purdue Research Park Eviction Risk: Moderate , West Lafayette

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.6/10. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 9.5/10. 74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 56% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Tippecanoe County average of 49.7%.

Average gross rent is $998, 19% below the West Lafayette average. SNAP participation runs 5.0% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 10.7% against 17.8% nationally.

Against the Tippecanoe County average of 4.5, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. Nationally it ranks #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
