Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Maplewood Park

What moves this score most is supply constraint at 5.7/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Allen County average of 4.6 and in line with the Indiana statewide average of 4.7. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 18 eviction filings here over 2 tracked years, with about 4.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 5.1% of renter households in 2018.
