How we rank a house
What puts a South Bend house first
We start with every house in St. Joseph County that carries a signal. Then we look for the same house on a second list, and a third. A house with unpaid tax and an open code case, or a vacant house in probate, is a different conversation than either signal alone. Those are the houses a small mail or call budget goes to first.
Counts as of November 10, 2026. Recently sold houses are left out.
What the data says
South Bend, by the numbers
Observations computed from the flagged houses, not opinions. They move when the data does.
Unpaid tax is the widest net: 90% of flagged houses
943 houses in South Bend carry unpaid property tax. On its own that is a slow signal; it sharpens fast when the same house carries a second one.
60% of flagged owners don't live in the house
626 houses have an owner whose mail goes somewhere else, and 112 of those owners are out of state. An absentee owner with a problem property is the classic seller.
7 houses sit on two or more lists at once
A house with unpaid tax and an open code case, or a vacant house in probate, converts at a different rate than either signal alone. The stacked list is where a small mail or call budget goes first.
