Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Edison Park
55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the St. Joseph County average of 41.2%. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10.
Average gross rent is $1,300, 21% above the Mishawaka average. The voucher gap is 18.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
It tracks the St. Joseph County average of 3.8 closely. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $58,619.
51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
