Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Edison Park
Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.
Food insecurity runs 6.8% against 17.8% nationally. Court records carry 6 eviction filings across 1 observed years.
Housing insecurity runs 6.3% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 0.8 points below the St. Joseph County average of 3.8.
Filings peaked in 2015 at 12.5% of renter households. 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.
In a typical year about 12.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 5% 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 1.2/10.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
