Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Edison Park
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 27%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10. Court records carry 55 eviction filings across 1 observed years. Against the St. Joseph County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points.
Filings peaked in 2015 at 12.3% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.
In a typical year about 12.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 53% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 6.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Average gross rent is $1,031, close to the South Bend average.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
