· range 3–4.6
Lakewood Hills spans 5 census tracts of Evansville, IN and houses 11,218 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.5/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
37% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Evansville rate of 29.1%. Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The 5 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.6, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. Court records for this tract carry 548 eviction filings.
Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 22.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 12.0% in 2013, is well off that peak.
Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Evansville, it ranks #5 by risk, the lower third. Against average income of $63,785, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $981, close to the Evansville average.
30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
