The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.5/10.

Against the Elkhart County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 20.2% against 11.3% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.
