Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Charlestown

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.1/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10. SNAP participation runs 7.0% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 0.8 points below the Clark County average of 3.8.

Average gross rent is $945, 9% below the Charlestown average. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 3.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $78,634, annual rent is just 14%. Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
