Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Poneto
The heaviest input here is housing court bias at 7.2/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Poneto, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Wells County average of 4.1 and below the Indiana statewide average of 4.7. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 0.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 0.7% of renter households in 2012.
In CDC survey modeling, about 10.5% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 7.5% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
