Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Eastwich

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.4/10.

It sits 1.5 points below the Tippecanoe County average of 4.5. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10. 16% 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 4.6% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 8.9% against 17.8% nationally.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.1/10. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $83,241, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
