Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Edison Park

23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Average gross rent is $1,298, 26% above the South Bend average.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10. roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the St. Joseph County average of 41.2%.

The voucher gap is 18.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation runs 5.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Against the St. Joseph County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $62,614.

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.
