Michigan City Eviction Risk: Moderate

Against LaPorte County at 35.8%, 50% of renters here are cost-burdened. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10.

The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. Against the LaPorte County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.

On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $969, close to the Michigan City average.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $51,683.

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.
