Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Porter
Pulling hardest the other way is eviction-process difficulty at 1.8/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10.
Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. SNAP participation runs 6.0% against 15.2% nationally.
That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3/10.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Porter County average of 3.8 closely. Average gross rent is $1,073, close to the Porter average.
Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $70,825.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
