Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Indi-Illi Parkway Historic District
Pulling hardest the other way is eviction-process difficulty at 1.7/10. Average gross rent is $825, 27% below the Hammond average.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
It sits 0.8 points below the Lake County average of 4.4. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
That is riskier than roughly 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.9/10.
Against average income of $80,667, annual rent is just 12%.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
