On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. Against Daviess County at 35.1%, 41% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 222 filings here across 4 tracked years.

It sits 0.6 points below the Daviess County average of 3.6. Filings peaked in 2006 at 5.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 4.5% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 8.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $61,786, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
