SNAP participation runs 7.1% against 15.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 47th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.4/10. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
It tracks the Tippecanoe County average of 4.5 closely. Average gross rent is $1,052, close to the Lafayette average.

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.
